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.

For fun I found this list of real world range tests @ 70 mph and compared with charging station distances in my area. Note that Porsche is once again the king of understating their capabilities.
One of my favorite drives is down through Yellowstone NP out to Cooke City and over Beartooth Pass to Red Lodge. There are 11 cars on this list that would easily get me from home to the charging station in Red Lodge and that is the farthest distance between stations I'd be likely to drive for regional pleasure driving (or even cross-country driving for that matter). The biggest obstacle now to switching the family truckster for EV is charge times. ID.4 (that I've been eyeballing) charges to 60 mile range in 10 minutes and to 80% charge in 38 minutes. That would tack on a lot of time to cross country trips. They get closer to my goals every year though. https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/ |
