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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I'm not against electric conversions, but until it supports a 200 mile range without touching the trunks and has the power of a 3.2 six, then it makes no sense to me. Otherwise, I would rather buy a Tesla model 3. |

Otherwise, I would rather buy a Tesla model 3. That would be doable Using napkin CAD Peak Torque: 280 Lb Ft Peak Peak Power: 210 HP Peak Max RPM: 10,000 About 260 miles range Over 300 mile range in the city (which is about useless) Weight would be within about 100 pounds of a stock 6, most of the batteries in the engine bay the rest in place of the gas tank to keep the weight balance close. The problem would be the cost of about 40K if you did it yourself. |

Maybe the technology will get cheaper over time, like everything else. |
