Instead of just slotting in an electric motor and battery where the old engine used to be, this electric Bronco has been thoroughly redesigned with over 1000 original designs and components and an interior that is stunning to behold. There is a 70kWh battery which promises a range of 190 miles and the electric motor produces 440hp along with 277lb-ft of torque which should give the Bronco contemporary levels of performance. That torque figure seems a bit low for an electric motor but exact performance specifications may change before production begins.
The drivetrain comprises of a five-speed manual transmission (an anomaly for an electric vehicle) and a two-speed transfer case, which can send the power to either two or four wheels. The electric Bronco has been in development for a number of years and it is clear that a lot of attention has been paid to every little detail of its design. Despite looking very much like a classic Bronco, the Zero Labs version features aerospace grade carbon fiber body panels, handmade walnut or bamboo interior panels and can be further customized to each owner’s tastes.
There will initially be 150 first edition models offered but Zero Lab’s intention is to put the Electric Bronco into serial production. There are no pricing details available yet but interested parties can reserve a spot for the first batch of cars without placing a deposit.
