Preliminar testing began April 08, on the steep hills of Toluca City, almost 8,000 feet above sea level. After 3,000 miles and 5 months, the AGM iteration for 'cost' conscious cab operators in Mexico City, began at IPN CIITEC (For its Spanish initials) Center for Technological Research and Innovation.

Major changes were done after data arrived: System voltage went down from 180 to 144 volts, batteries went from 15 to 12 units with a a 25 more current getting to 95 Ah at C1.

Offboard charging and pack redesign cleaned up the trunk, while allowing fast recharge (2 hour 30 minutes to full SOC at 30 amps and less than 1 hour to 60% capacity at 50 amps.) and a real steady range of 62 miles between charges.
