Electric Car Speed Record Attempt

On 9th June, the Primetime Engineering team will make an attempt on the 245 mph World Electric Land Speed record in their „ABBe=motion“ car on the Chott-el-Jerid salt flats in southern Tunisia. According to a computer simulation, the car should be capable of 304 mph and it has already achieved 146 mph in 1,000 yards (the longest distance available to the team in the UK). „ABB e=motion“ is powered by 58 Exide Technologies/CMP Orbital Series 800 batteries, delivering more than 600 volts and 2300 amps.
