"As the country transitions to electric vehicles, we wanted to show that embracing the future doesn't mean that you have to give up the past," said John Thomas, chief operating officer of Autel Energy. "We're always innovating and love to partner with companies who share a passion for performance, and we're proud to be partnering with Zero Labs to showcase this vintage vehicle at CES, blending tradition with technology."

The custom Bronco SUV features a carbon fiber body and has been fully electrified with a 600-horsepower, dual-motor propulsion system featuring a 100-kWh battery and 235-plus miles of all-electric range.
