Unfortunately, this American automaker didn't release yet its powertrain details, possibly because it's all just a matter of design, both interior and exterior. There's an external charge indicator visible through the hatch's rear window, and the Wildcat EV's blade-style taillights are embedded in the roof screen panel, and complete the package are 18-inch turbine wheels inspired by the Jet Age.
