| This EV was originally converted by BAT International in the 1990's. The links below reference the Idaho National Lab / EV America testing inclusive of that period. A summary of their results for this EV appears to be here. Note that the Vin # for the vehicle on the EV America fact sheet matches the Vin # on my vehicle except for one character. I'm assuming it is just a fact sheet typo but am not 100% certain. Otherwise the vehicle appears to be mine except that the wheels and tires on mine were different by the time i purchased it.
