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.

Had a Tesla Roadster a few years back. Cool car and always told people if this is where car tech is going, we're all in for a treat. Shoot, back in very early 1900's, 97% of the cars on the road were electric.
Sold the Tesla for two reasons: Range wasn't what it once was, annoying to charge so much, not go as far, cost of new batteries was $40k back then Tesla came out with the Model 3, there's a YouTube video comparing the X, S, 3 and original Roadster. Roadster came in dead last in acceleration. Got me thinking, why own it anymore? Gonna cost a bundle shortly to keep it going and it won't keep up with family sedans. It's not an old-school Porsche or Muscle car. Said bye-bye. It's always been about battery tech. Once that reaches a certain point of cost and weight, things might change? As for an EV 914, seen a few, ridden in one. Kinda neat. |

With California's draconian smog laws, I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't keep that Tesla Roadster with the dead battery . . .then puts in the elise/exige drivetrain (that it was essentially born to cradle) for a smog free thrill ride . . .until the CHP hears that obnoxious exhaust . . . |
