UTCC Contender: AC Propulsion eBox

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

I’m very happy to see that we have an electric vehicle entered in the green track car category at the Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Yep, it’s a Scion, converted to electric by AC Propulsion. And this box is no slouch: it currently holds the 1/8th mile record in the National Electric Drag Racing Association for a street conversion. Can’t wait to see this thing go up against the gas-powered cars at Buttonwillow!

I wish I could convert my Firebird to electric. Even if I had the cash to do it though, I don’t think Lithium Ion batteries are good enough and that would probably hold me back from doing the conversion.

Awesome! It is very cool to see the Ebox out and about doing some events. Tom Hanks is the proud owner of one of the xB eBox conversions.
