Admittedly, seeing a monster truck at SEMA is hardly surprising, which is why we nearly strolled right past this Bigfoot lookalike parked in Odyssey Batteries’ booth. But seeing an electric monster truck anywhere is mighty interesting, which is why we’re glad we caught a glimpse of Odyssey’s booth signage that gave away this Bigfoot’s battery power. Tucked underneath the truck’s body within the tube-frame chassis are 30 Odyssey car batteries and an Electrified Motorsports DC motor. An additional six batteries are used to power the electric power steering—it’s permeating even monster-truck steering racks!—and the electrically boosted brakes.
