TeamWattson set the record for an EV during an 24 hour race. The Datsun truck was converted to all electric, using "off the shelf" motor and controllers. The battery packs came from a Jaguar. They had three? batteries on rotation and would swap them about once an hour during pit stops. The charging station was from three RV stalls, and the cooling loop to keep the batteries cool was set to extra cold during charging.
