Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines.

In the two-seat XL1, the developers successfully came up with a body concept which delivers more everyday utility than in the two previous prototypes. Operating at 220 volts, the power electronics manage the flow of high voltage energy from and to the battery or E-motor and converts direct current to alternating current.

The simplest recharging option is to plug the charging cable supplied with the car into a conventional 230-volt socket. As the conventional solution, the charging cable supplied as standard with the car is plugged into a 230-volt mains electrical socket. The battery is then charged from the grid at a power level of 2.3
