Thanks to the fast charger, the five-minute charge gives the vehicle a range of 62 miles (100 kilometers).

The light weight and high power of the electric motors allow this runner to reach a speed of 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds, with a currently unknown top speed. The driver has four driving modes available Eco, Practice, Race and Qualifying.

Since the car is entirely a product of Balthazar, the entire manufacturing process was kept secret. Now, Baltasar has announced that orders have been opened and that the price of the Revolt is $ 280,000 (€ 230,000).
