Whether you like 'em or not....they are definitely a wave of the future.
Not sure what I think about the whole idea myself. Still have the rear luggage boot which is nice. It's pretty slick the bolt in rear cradle that holds some of the batteries, Tesla motor, cooling, etc. The "custom" look is pretty bad as to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJTNsH-SIqk |

It’s pretty easy to lighten a 914 by 200-250lbs and a 300lb weight savings isn’t impossible. So there is a lot of room to help make up for the batteries.
You also have to individualize the owners needs. I know a local member who uses his 914ev for a 5 mile work commute. He might be very happy with 40-50 miles of range. I realize we are talking Delaware and not the Midwest. For some people, electric might never satisfy their needs but that’s ok. |
