Regular readers may remember that earlier this week we told you about a Press release from Shelby Super Cars making some remarkable claims about the performance of its electric car. If you missed it, you can check out the post here.
Well, now Shelby has taken a second look at those claims and admitted that the Press release was ‘premature’. Instead, the company has issued a revised version regarding its electric vehicle program.
So, gone is the incredible claim that it could recharge its Ultimate Aero EV in ten minutes from an ordinary 110V outlet. Instead, the Press release states that Shelby Super Cars’ “Charge on the Run” onboard charging system allows for 10 minute full battery recharges on a 220V service.
Of course the claims still seem a little wild, but let’s give the company the benefit of the doubt as it is willing to put its technology to the test. Shelby Super Cars will produce a demonstration of its all-electric scalable powertrain (AESP) technology at one of America’s super speedways following the official debut of the car.
Indeed company owner Jerod Shelby will even be on hand along with some “notable” drivers to put the vehicle to the test performing high speed laps with 10 minute battery recharging pit-stops. So time will tell if the company can deliver on its revised claims – here’s hoping it can.
