Ambler EV is going to officially unveil our full 914 electric conversion at our grand opening June 5, 207 & 211 South Main Street, Ambler PA. For those of you in the Philadelphia area, stop by and see the future. For those of you outside the Philadelphia area, follow our page on Facebook to see more teasers as the day get closer www.facebook.com/Amblerev. For those of you attempting this yourself, I am happy to talk end specs but questions about components used or design will not be answered (EV West is your source for that). If you are interested in buying a full electric 914 (or converting your 914 roller) so that it can handle level 2 charging, has a range over 200 miles, and will no longer contain any vacuum or 40 year old EFI electronics, stop by or email me at sam@amblerev.com.

"There are variables simply out of our control like wind, traffic, and weather. However, we do our best to control what we can. We always set the tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, we crosscheck the speedometer with a GPS for accuracy, we charge up to 100 percent and enter the highway either immediately or within a couple of miles. Then we drive at a constant 70 mph and in long loops so we end up basically where we started. "
Ok, sounds real worldly to me. I guess I'm less of a long loop driver and more of a squiggly line kind of guy. Besides, I don't care how many playing cards you put in the spokes, it won't sound the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm confused. Are you saying that those variable out of their control do not affect the range of ICE vehicles? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Big difference when you can find fuel for an ICE virtually anywhere, and it can be fueled in 5 minutes if your range suddenly is reduced when the algorithm for range updates in a non-linear manner. Until you've reached your planned charging destination only to find that the charging station is out of order and/or has a hour plus queue to charge, you've never really experienced range anxiety while hoping you can find another operational charger before it dies. Not anti-EV. I'm the guy that's been telling anyone that would listen that you simply can't beat the acceleration of a Model S P100D AWD regardless of how big the engine in your 914 is. I've also been the guy hosed by a broken single charger that I assumed would be operational. Never doing that again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |
