Has anyone seen one? Does one exist?

This was the 914 I wanted 10 years ago. Not sure about that $50K+ conversion cost though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

An electric 914 conversion only makes dollar sense if its really your hearts desire. Better to buy a used Nissan Leaf for DD and use the 914 for fun. All the electric 914's I see for sale get half or less what they have into them.

There is a member here who lives near me and uses his electric 914 to get to work. His is very nice and if I remember correctly, was done on a reasonable budget.

I like the general idea and I always thought a lightweight electric 914 could make a fun driver. With a super lightweight battery pack, immediate torque and a direct drive motor, it should rip up an auto-x course.

The company listed in the first post is building custom project cars. You aren't just paying for a kit, it's a running vehicle. Labor is labor no matter what engine/motor you use. Imagine owning a classic car that doesn't stink up the garage, turns on with the twist of the key - even if it sat all winter and doesn't make a noise that is obnoxious to your wife. For some people it's perfect.
