EV West isn’t like other electric car builders. They aren’t trying to save the planet from gasoline emissions, they are trying to build race cars using electric technology for events that can best use that technology. The Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, with a total driving distance of under 20 miles at very high elevation, is one of those events. Drive takes their Pike’s Peak M3 to the dyno to find out what 400 Kilowatts means in Horsepower, then to see how it drives.
