The first build used Trojan deep-cycle batteries. This was upgraded to the Ovonic NiMH batteries that were salvaged from the EV-1 project. A small supply of the actual batteries was located, and enough were revived to be operational. Due to the high amp draw under usage, NiMHs generate a lot of heat. The heat was removed with forced air cooling based upon evaporative-cooling principles. The car easily exceeded the 40-mile range target, and was regularly driven at freeway speeds of 65mph+.
