Hi Tom and All,

I haven't found my donor truck yet so I've been eyeing my '86 Porshce 911
sitting bored in my garage. To bide my time, I started trying to roughly
evaluate it as an EV canidate. Unfortunatly I couldn't find many success
stories on converting the 911 (lots of 914s though). Everything I found was
done with 12v batteries. One is on eBay and not much of a success story. A
few were done by worldclassexotics with 12v Lead Acid AGM batteries with
pretty good performance claims but at a very high price. From my limited
time learning about EVs, the 12v Lead Acids won't last very long and are
discourged. After taking some measurements, I might be able to cram 20-24 6v
batteries in there but the weight would be more than half the car's current
weight.

I couldn't find much on evalbum. Does anyone else know of Porsche 911 EV
conversions I might have missed? My goals are 30-40 mile range half that at
highway speeds (60-70mph).
