New Project Options

Hello all
New project. 1970, no rust other than surface rust from 38 years in the Arizona desert.
I am going to convert it to electric.

This is an upload test:

A lithium-ion battery pack has about 0.3 MJ/kg and about 0.4 MJ/liter (Chevy VOLT). Gasoline thus has about 100 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery. ... Powering a car with electricity is considerably more efficient than powering a car with gasoline in terms of primary-energy consumption.

353 miles (568 km) Long Range AWD/Long Range Performance AWD

The Long Range version carries 4,416 cells arranged in 96 groups of 46, and weighs 1,060 pounds (480 kg) in a 0.40 m³ volume; a density of 150 Wh/kg.

So for the same miles (200hp -6) it will weigh roughly 700lbs more and need at least 11270 in^3 just in batteries.

That's kinda like doing a sbc swap and then storing another sbc in the frunk.

Want a fun EV, Nissan Leaf widebody

thanks for the numbers!

Imagine that, the 914 features an empty wheight of about 2000 lbs (ICE) and your going to put a battery of about 700 lbs in that car minus the wheight of the old engine plus that of the electric drive train.

What a nonsense…. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
