My ride in a 911EV Options

An no they don’t have a kit for the 914 yet. This is a complete kit that bolts into the car. Biggest job is replacing the wiring harness. If they take away our gas, kits like this will keep our old cars on the road. Might not happen in my lifetime but my kids might see that day.

I was just in Rome. Lots of little smart cars and fiats in the city, parked all over the place on tiny side streets.
While walking, I saw my first ever IDBuzz. It rolled through a crowd right next to me…I’m in. It’s at the top of my list.

The power grid in the USA needs work, but it will only happen as more of us buy these types of cars and the oil oligarchy learns how to make money from electric plants.

I think solid state batteries will make a big difference in US customers buying EVcar with ranges near 1k miles.

The fact that it's been in the works for decades and still isn't available tells me it will be fuching expensive. Actually I think that is the hangup, Toyota can't get the cost down.

The Prius battery may be basic, but it's cheap and individual cells can be replaced by the average mechanic keeping it alive.

EV may be the future, but it's hybrid for the next 2 decades. If car made co2 is such a big deal why wasn't hybrids mandatory 10+ years ago?

Like it or not, besides motive power, how does this EV kit or any other change the balance and feel of a 914? Or, for that matter, a 911?

The point is not just to make a car go, or just acceleration. The point (for me at least), is the combined thrill of driving on entertaining roads.

Nailed it,

I would not call myself a hater, but the experience of an ICE 914 works well for me

This is an interesting electric motor.

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a38940998...electric-motor/

67lbs 134hp 184lb-ft

That is enough for 90% of the commuter cars out there.

But, for 20 seconds it will put out 335hp and 443lb-ft.

443ld-ft for 20 seconds will put a 3000lb car through 150+MPH!
You NEED the Autobahn to test this legally.

And it weighs less than your labrador!

And then they have the "terrier" which is two back to back.
Torque vectoring, no tranny needed. 167lbs, internal inverter.

This is what they have released publicly.
Who knows what's possible...

These are for hybrid use alongside an ICE engine, but they have merit on their own in my book.

Now we just need a power source of the same caliber.

I will be buried in an ICE car....end of story.
There is nothing that sounds like a Porsche flat six or delivers the power in such an emotional way. Nothing.

Several years ago I was considering a V8 Ferrari, we drove a couple and my wife called it: they just don't compare with our 930. Couple years later I am somewhat entrenched in the world of 914's.
