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.

Of course EVs have less carbon emissions. We are still a long way from clean electric. I just want people to be clear: Electric does not mean clean. Yet. So far it is only displacing the dirty. And THAT is what some green heads don't yet understand. Displacing it from YOU doesn't mean it's gone.

And THAT is what some green heads don't yet understand. Displacing it from YOU doesn't mean it's gone. Agreed. All energy sources have impacts. Some are worse than others and carbon emissions are not the only impacts. Some sources are much better than others though. It isn't that obvious that EV would have less emissions than ICE when you consider the whole cradle to grave life though. EVs are dirtier to manufacture and at least at one time, dirtier to dispose of so it wasn't clear they would have a net reduction when powered with dirty coal electricity. It turns out that at least as of 2008 or so, the did. I didn't understand how until I learned that even as dirty as coal is, it still has fewer emissions per unit of energy than the average ICE car. |
