While an official Ford Bronco EV is yet to come, there are other options out there. For example, there is Gateway Bronco, which is a Ford Motor Company-licensed brand that builds restomods of classic Broncos. And last year, they added EVs to their resume.
The one Ben has is based on the first-generation Bronco and it comes with a Seafoam Green paint job, a black soft top, and bright red center caps on the wheels.
Gateway Bronco, which is based in Harmel, Illinois, replaces the Bronco's old engine, which used to be an inline-six or a V8, with an electric motor rated at 295 horsepower (300 ps) for the entry-level version. That is just enough power for the off-roader to whizz from zero to 60 mph (97 kph) in about 4.7 seconds, according to the brand.
When it comes to range, the Fuelie version can reportedly drive as far as 200 miles (322 km), while the Luxe GT can travel up to 300 miles (483 km) before needing to be plugged in. The Luxe GT has more power and more speed, too, being rated at 400+ horsepower (406 ps) and doing zero to 60 (0-97 km) in approximately 4 seconds.
All of this doesn't come cheap, of course. The entry-level Fuelie Electric Edition starts at $260,000, while you have to pay $380,000 for the Luxe GT Edition. The powertrain and batteries come with a seven-year warranty.
