Team Vesco 444 reVolt Systems’ streamliner, known affectionately as “Little Giant,” set a National Electric E3 Record earlier this month, shattering the previous national record for an electric vehicle’s top speed.

The electric car managed a blistering one-way top speed of 357 mph (574.5 km/h) and an average speed of 353 mph (568 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats on Friday, October 1, driven by Eric Ritter. Although that’s 12 mph (19 km/h) faster than the current world record, those need to be accomplished in two directions with the runs attempted within 60 minutes of each other, something the team didn’t do. Still, it has earned itself the national record.

“What an incredible ride!” said Ritter. “The torque off the starting line – it’s a monster, it bolts without hesitation and keeps pulling, non-stop. Our time slips tell the story, with the 357 mph top speed, that 400 [643.7 km/h] is now a reality, no longer just a dream.”

The Rockville, Utah-based Team Veso is well versed in high-speed records and chose to partner with reVolt Systems out of Oceanside, California on this project. They were also helped by Greg Peek from American Track Roadster and Trenton Wonsley.

“Little Giant” is powered by 1,152 prismatic lithium-ion batteries, which were recharged with a Tier 4 solar trailer, and a heavily modified pair of Tesla motors. Peel was responsible for the design and build of the complex powertrain section that connects the motors together and sends the power out to the wheels.

“In design, you start with things that you know and the things you don’t, then fill in the blanks and connect the dots,” said Peek. “The main parts had to go through six complex processes to end up with something useful and reliable. You can go for cheap or go for bulletproof. I think our new National record shows which one we chose.”

With the car still accelerating at the end of its fastest run, team owner Rick Vesco says he is excited about the future.
