The electric motor runs on a 70 kph LG Chem lithium-ion battery pack split between two locations. Bisi included a CCS charging port which allows for slow\/medium AC connectors or fast charging DC connectors. SOS Customs took over the interior with custom leather and Alcantara upholstery. Behind the custom wooden steering wheel are Speedhut EV gauges. <\/p>\n
