    Interesting that it's all electric and they left the 5-speed manual trans in it.

    I might see doing the raffle...

    Not to discourage you from donating to this, if that's your thing, but there is a link for a free entry below all of the "pay N dollars for M entries" links. The old "no purchase necessary to enter or win" loophole that is required in these kinds of public giveaways.

    if it wasn't obvious...I like the electric bronco...no intent on the associated charity/fundraising etc....
    Your gonna need to the add-in $20k to pay for registration fees, insurance and whatever 1099MISC income taxes you will owe...

    Being able to gear down that 400+ HP probably contributes to the survival of an old-school transfer case. I'm sure the motor could be controlled by a governor at different speeds, but keeping the transmission may have been a simpler solution (seems to be a popular choice for retro EV conversions).
