Affleck’s Ford comes from Gateway Bronco, a Ford Motor Company-licensed brand that builds restored and modified classic Broncos, autoevolution reports.
Affleck’s Bronco features a design rooted in the vehicle line’s first generation.
These distinctive first-generation design elements include Seafoam Green paintwork, a black soft top, and sleek red center wheel caps.
Gateway Bronco replaced the Ford’s inline six or V8 engine with an electric motor.
This electric motor delivers 295 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60mph in about 4.7 seconds.
Affleck’s other new electric automobile, Rivian’s R1S, could serve as an alternative Batmobile for the actor’s on-screen superhero role.
The R1S features two electric motors that produce around 600 horsepower.
Depending on the battery pack, Affleck’s R1S can take the movie star between 260 and 321 miles on a single charge.

In 2021, Rivian’s R1T was given MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year award.
Rivian’s R1T is similar to its R1S but features an open bed that’s more reminiscent of a pickup.
While A-listers like Affleck are giving Rivian some free publicity, time is ticking for the American electric auto manufacturing startup.
Rivian was producing its vehicles at around $220,000 a piece and selling the models at an average of $81,000 per unit during quarter three, losing about $139,000 for each sale, Reuters reports.
Rivian’s cash reserve can maintain the company through 2025, Yahoo reports.
