Well, I've pestered this forum for a while with my electric 914. Tried a couple of different configurations, during this time, too. *IF* I were to start with the current configuration, I'd have added in roughly $20k worth of parts. Of course, I'm not paying for the electricity, since I have solar panels and can charge at work for free, so the payoff will happen in oh... (cough) mumble (cough) years.
To be honest, there is no way to compete with even the lame Leaf costwise. Of course, our cars are much more handsome than the Leaf and Pius, but that's not saying much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I've got a box of batteries balanced over the motor (attached to the standard 914 transmission), and another box of batteries squeezed in where the gas tank used to be, and another box in the front trunk. All of the electronics are stuffed into the rear trunk. Now that I know what to do, I'd reserve half the rear trunk for the electronics, and figure out a deeper box for the engine compartment. Oh, and get 130Ah batteries. Oh, and NOT buy a cheap chinese BLDC motor. |
