Now the powertrain of the converted vehicle might be the focal point as it is a Tesla drive unit and can generate a power output of 500 hp. The electric motor has been mounted at the rear of the vehicle and it draws power from another small battery pack which are two Chevy Volt battery packs with a total capacity of 38 kWh. This revamped electric vehicle will provide the user with a range of up to 193 km.

The video has been uploaded on YouTube and it has garnered quite a significant number of views. Many posted positive comments about the conversion and some went ahead to say as EVs are expensive, one may find these conversions as a normal trend in the coming days.
