I thought this fact might interest some on this forum: I found out that at least 42 Porsche 914's have been converted to electric power. They can be viewed on this web site: http://www.evalbum.com/type/PORS/

It *HAS* been fun to do. There are some amazing motors coming out - I've been following a thread on DIYElectricCar forum about a 100Kw and 200Kw motor - those should blow away most V8s! I've got a 40kw continuous, 80kw peak motor/controller combo, and Sean Molloy seems to like the acceleration (he keeps braking and stomping on the GO pedal) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Just make sure your pack is big enough to get the range you want. I have a 22kwh pack, and that gives me 70 miles range (at freeway speed). More than adequate for my daily commute. If you are in San Diego, I'd be happy to show off "Sparky". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers, Peter |
