Reachers at MIT are building a electric vehicle from a 914. If it wasn't such a
nice looking teener it would be good news. Just what you need in a 914... more batterys. |

Did anyone tell those guys at MIT that it has already been done with a 914? Are they simply copying the one here on this site?
Someone here has already done this and I have seen video of it at a drag strip. (I can't remember their name, a little help please) John |

Otmar is his name (on this site). His is the one I remember.
Wasn't this just discussed a few days ago? |

wasn't there another electric porsche about 100 years ago built for the Lohner company or something like that? These MIT guys are about a century too late aren't they?

Hey, electric 914s are the car of the future man!! Imagine all them low batteries in the engind bay or even better, a fuel cell powered biotch. Once they force us to use them EVs, I'll have an electric CARBON FIBERED 914 PORSCHE EV mark my word! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
Is there a Porsche DC electric motor made anywhere because Benz has one? Wahahahah!!! |

Don't shoot down the electric projects too soon... the new technologies for electric stuff are amazing. Not the same animal it was years ago. Now you've got new brushless motors (92% efficiency) compared to old brushed motors (60% efficiency). And you've got Lithium batteries which can store 20x more energy then old lead acid batteries. And ofcourse digital controllers which are near 100% efficient instead of old reostat technology.
Wanna check out a fascinating movie? "Who Killed the Electric Car". Sorta sad when you see all the reasons why the electric car became a huge threat to the auto companies and oil industry so they sent it to it's grave. |
