An Electric Eleanor? This 60s-Style Mustang Is As Green As They Come

July 6, 2019

When you think of restomods, and more specifically, their powertrains, I imagine you think of big V8s, right? Same here, but that may not be a permanent state of affairs. The London-based company Charge Automotive are making classic Mustangs with a difference: they’re entirely electric. The Charge Mustang EV, currently being shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, features an officially-licensed body shell, which resembles a ’67 fastback. It also shares some features with the 1971 Mustang, Eleanor, however, which is no bad thing.

The output of the engine hasn’t been disclosed, but a few other crucial figures have. The car’s range will be around 200 miles, thanks to a battery capacity of 64 kWh, and recharging should be pretty fast, with a charging rate of 50 kW. That range isn’t too bad, but it’s also not amazing, with the Tesla Roadster having around 600 miles of range per charge. However, it does promise to be a thrill to drive: 0-60 is achieved in 3.99 seconds and there’s 885 lb-ft of torque. The top speed is 149 mph.
