In this electrifying episode, Rich Rebuilds takes on the challenge of converting a Honda Beat to electric power for his friend Ben from Gears and Gasoline.

During the test drive, the electric Honda Beat impresses with its smooth acceleration and enhanced handling, showcasing the benefits of electric conversion. The team enjoys the unique driving experience offered by the electric vehicle, noting its attention-grabbing presence on the road. Reflecting on the performance and handling differences between the electric and stock Honda Beats, the team concludes the competition with a newfound appreciation for the capabilities of electric power in a compact car.
