Cool. Well I have to say this one caught my eye because I've done a fair amount of daydreaming about converting an old truck into an EV as a replacement for the ForkenSwift some day. Why? Because I mostly use the FS as a utility vehicle anyway.

Of course drag strip performance wouldn't be on the spec list. NEV type specs, similar to the current EV, would be fine.
