Modified electric car makes 520-km Tokyo-Osaka run

A car converted from gasoline to electric power by a Tokyo Denki University team is parked outside Osaka's Expo Memorial Park on March 16 after bettering its own distance record, traveling 520 km from Tokyo to Osaka on a single charge. The team set its previous record of 460 km last July with the same vehicle extensively modified from a 1300 cc gasoline-powered car. The group installed 26 high-performance nickel-hydrogen batteries on the car for the Osaka run.
