Car powered by 500 disposable vape batteries boasts 18-mile range, 35mph top speed, USB-C charging port — early 2000s Reva G.Wiz gets a makeover

A TechTuber repurposed 500 disposable vape batteries to power an early 2000s electric car, achieving an 18-mile range and 35mph top speed. The batteries were repackaged into an aluminum case and connected to the car, which originally used lead-acid technology. The car successfully operated with a USB-C charging port, a unique feature for a vehicle. Despite concerns about power limitations compared to modern electric cars, the vape-powered car demonstrated functionality during a test drive, covering 18 miles before battery depletion. The project highlights innovative reuse of discarded vape components for sustainable energy solutions.
