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's been a hoot! 6000 miles now an not a drop of gasoline purchased! The conversion was aimed at normal performance, not racing. I was able to put mine on a dyno this summer and it put out over 100hp and 200ft-lbs. Not stupendous but better that the original 4 cyl. The max torque was at 50 rpm. ( I think I need to be careful not to hurt the transmission or cv joints) We use the car now as our primary driver, grocery getter. My son visited last week and we did a 135 mile drive out in the countryside. Fun, fun. I think Dr Porsche would like it just fine.
