Top Speed	80 MPH (128 KPH) I have had it up to 80 MPH and it still had some power but I don't plan on trying to go faster.
Acceleration	Good acceleration but not impressive.
Range	42 Miles (67 Kilometers) Depending on terrain. I have driven it 42 miles and the pack was 2.5 volts per cell. Empty for all practical purposes although the vehicle was still moving with plenty of power.
Watt Hours/Mile	310 Wh/Mile Not sure what Whr speed means. Pack voltage is 147 fully charged with 100 Ah cells Pack is 14,700 Watt/hrs I use approximately 90% 13,230 Watt/hrs 13,230 Watt/hrs divided by 310 Whr/mile yields 42.68 miles This has proved correct in my driving experiences. Watt hour per mile was calculated based on weight 3100 lbs divide by 10 gets 310 whr/mile This rule of thumb proved correct. learned this on EVTV.me from Jack Richard.
Seating Capacity	two for now although I could put the back seat back in if I so desired
Curb Weight	2,900 Pounds (1,318 Kilograms) with me in the vehicle that's 3100 lbs.
Conversion Time	about 8 months but there wer about 6 months before that while I researched it and bought a few parts.
Conversion Cost	Not sure somewhere between $12,000 and $16,000 I need to tally everything. I bought some things I didn't use.
