Team Vesco 444 reVolt Systems streamliner, nicknamed “Little Giant,” driven by New York City resident Eric Ritter set a new National Electric E3 Record by achieving a blistering 353 mph average, which is 12 mph faster than the current world record. It’s powered by 1,152 prismatic lithium ion batteries and a pair of heavily modified Tesla motors. You can’t just recharge this at any supercharger, as it required a Tier 4 solar trailer out at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

The 353 mph National E3 Class Record was set in a mere two runs down the racecourse. but what most may not know is that world records have the added requirement of completing both runs within a 60-minut time period. American Track Roadster’s Greg Peek was the person responsible for designing and building the complex powertrain section that connects the motors together and then sends the necessary energy to the driveline, out to the wheels.

In design, you start with things that you know and the things you don’t, then fill in the blanks and connect the dots. The main parts had to go through six complex processes to end up with something useful and reliable. You can go for cheap or go for bullet proof. I think our new National record shows which one we chose,” said Greg Peek, hot rod veteran from American Track Roadster.
