It's been a long journey but we finally have the 914EV road legal here in the UK. We did a small local Porsche show this weekend - first time it has been to a show under its own power.
If you watched Vintage Voltage you'd have seen a very different car but this is the vision I had all along despite what the TV might have led you to believe. The interior is scratch built - we even moved the steering column to centre of the driver seat.
The car is phenomenal to drive. 1250kg, 50/50 weight, power brakes, power steering and of course 300HP from the get go. All the engineering in the rear cradle and strengthening has paid off - no creaks or rattles, no flex, not a peep from the targa top.
I left the show in convoy with the GT3 in the photo. The 914 is just a fast to 80 mph and actually quicker in the twisties. Insane!

I’m in the process of searching out a roller for the same kind of project.
I am wondering about the battery configuration in your car.
If the car ended up finished like the video suggested, you have about 230 volts nominal and about 29KVh. Is this the case? Can you say what kind of range you get?
I would love to use the Tesla motor, but it does require a lot of battery power.
Your project is a perfect example for me to follow.
Thanks for sharing what you can.
Awesome job!! The interior reminds of a Tesla interior minus the obnoxious big screen tv. Would love to see the inner workings.. power steering, etc.
