Yes, the engine and drivetrain is completely removed. 2 electric motors lifted from forklifts drive the rear wheels, not sure what is in between as the electric motors were in the front of the car.

He initially ran it on banks of lead-acid batteries but switched over to lithium which saved him about 600 pounds of weight and allowed him to break his own record.

It also shows him driving it around town where it is pretty docile and quiet. At the track it sounds like an angry cordless drill
