The first electric monster truck. The Bigfoot! [Video]


Who said electric vehicles are small and weak? Here you have the world's first all-electric monster truck, the Bigfoot #20.
 
Odyssey Battery and the famous Ford monster truck team Bigfoot joined forces to create this vehicle that for now will only be displayed at trade shows and won't compete anytime soon.

To create this beast Odyssey provided 36 batteries, each weighing a little over 17kg (38 pounds) will give around 540 amps and a maximum of 1200 amps for up to 5 seconds, but will only last about 400 cycles. The batteries are connected to an engine with 355ps (261kW) and weigh in total 624kg (1375 pounds).
 
In the end it is really weird to not hear the noise of the V8 or V10 engines in a full stadium. For more you can visit the Odyssey and the Bigfoot 4x4 websites
