<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Tom and All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>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).</div>

I looked in the member list for my name and did not find it. Am I no longer a member? I just purchased my donor vehicle, a very nice 99 Ford Ranger, and I will be starting the conversion next week. I'll post some pictures when I get started. That's assuming I am still a member and you haven't banned me.<br>
