This might get some knickers in a quibbley but I'm trying to figure out had the 914 design team's vote to badge the car been honored, which badge would have come on my car. Porsche Classics shows the orange badge used through MY 1973 and the red badge beginning in MY 1974, but there is also this graphic showing the switched occurred sometime in '73.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.summitmedia-digital.com-20845-1664031721.1.jpg) The best I can tell, the switch might have happened with the introduction of the 911 G-series in MY 1974 but I've had a hard time finding when actual production began. I did find this article saying it started in August, 1973 which might be a good clue. That may be all I need to know, but does anyone have anything to add? |

If you’re going to run a successful scam the 1st rule is don’t promise something so far out there that it isn’t believable.
Bernie Madoff did so well because he was only promising returns of 5-10% which is very plausible. Magic technology that eliminates internal resistance in the batteries, wire, and charging port interconnects is not really plausible from a Physics standpoint. Secret Flux capacitor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) going on to deliver on that sort of charging rate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) not really a plausible tale. |

The Porsche Taycan and Kia EV6 are both in production and can already deliver 250 miles of range in 23 minutes. With a lighter car, newer battery tech, and more lax attitude on how badly you are willing to thrash the batteries to get a fast charge in them, I could see them getting close to 8 minutes without requiring magic flux capacitors (although those are pretty awesome from what I hear). |

To get that charging rate the Taycan requires an 800 volt charger. Good luck finding L3 800 volt capable fast chargers at your corner store. And that is at 23 minute charge time. So take a deep breath and think about what kind of voltage it would take to get to 5 minute charging. It’s not just a matter of risk taking on whether or not you wish to degrade the battery. In addition to the internal resistance and heat effects eventually one also runs into chemistry stability and limitations on how fast Lithium ion mass can be moved from one place to another within the battery cell. As always - these bogus marketing claims are what continue to drive me crazy with EVs and no one does the homework. The media just parrots it back as if it is a fact. Understandable given the average journalist has no understanding of Physics, Chemistry, or any of the physical sciences and only gets paid to regurgitate whatever they are told the science is. Next miracle in battery tech is always just around the corner in a year or so. Please be patient . . . I’m getting old waiting. Here is info on Taycan charging which peaks at 2.8C charge rate. To get to 8 minute charging you’ll have to get closer to 7.5C rate. https://insideevs.com/news/512344/porsche-t...rging-analysis/ |
