Zero Labs created a version of the Ford Bronco that is entirely electrically powered. The car will be available for a price of $185,000, and the company will be making deliveries at a later date in 2020. The new electric vehicle from Zero Labs features minimalistic aesthetic, with a wood and carbon fiber trim. Both leather and vegan upholstery options are available for the interior of the car.
The electric Bronco will be powered by a 70 kWh battery, that can provide a max range of 190 miles. The vehicle can also produce 600 horsepower and 386 lb-ft of torque. Zero Labs designed the Bronco with Level 3 charging capabilities, which can reduce charge times.
