Schwarzenegger turn Gelandewagen into electric car

The former governor of the State of California and famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger remade Gelandewagen in an electrocar. 

At the request of a celebrity, the Kreisel Electric company undertook to re-equip the car from Austria, native for Schwarzenegger, the company have long been engaged in this "electrification" of cars with internal combustion engine.  Gelandewagen lost the old motor and got two new electric motors which together generate capacity of 500 horsepowers. It is noted that its transformation only improved dynamic qualities of a star car. Now Gelandewagen is accelerated to the first hundred on  speedometer for almost three seconds faster.

Cruising is not particularly large - about 300 kilometers, which are provided by the batteries capacity of 80 kWh. Maximum speed - 183 km / h.

Arnold Schwarzenegger told that this step must make a small contribution to preserving ecology.
