He get 60 MPH even today. The battery pack is dead.

He plans to maybe pull the battery pack and guys on the internet have figured out how to test each cell of the pack, and replace the bad cells. He said it is a slow and tedious process. He said people ask him more questions about it than any of his Porsches. Many people ask if he built the car himself, as they have never seen one like it.

The really fun thing about a fuel efficient car, is you can "race" your best MPG efficiency without the risk of blue lights from say, racing MPH.
There are very competitive males I know that track these things, and are all out to beat eachother. The end result is they pay attention to their driving, look ahead, and do their best to maintain momentum without giving it up.
