DIY Recycled EV car sets new world record for range (340 miles)

I've been researching self build battery systems for off-grid usage. With that comes lots of info from the DIY world of electric vehicles. These guys took a car from a junkyard and used recycled batteries to build a car that drove further than the Telsa and the GM Bolt & Nissan Leaf to set a new world record for range on a single charge. (average speed was 70mph)

The car cost $13k to build..



Spoiler.. it only stopped at 340 miles because they blew a fuse. It still had 30% battery left.
