1980 Porsche 924 Turbo converted to all electric (no gas engine). It has back seats too, not a lot of electrics can boast that – especially a Porsche! I love telling people that I have an "Electric Porsche", people say, "WHAT?!" It has, keyless entry - chirp chirp! (how cool is that...on an 1980?!) + alarm. Power windows. Original 5-speed transaxle (clutch removed, not needed, shift into 3rd and leave it there). WarP 9 DC series wound motor, 1,000 Amp controller (programmed for 300 amps - plenty), 13 12volt deep cycle marine lead-acid flooded batteries (new Jan 2013) 156 Volt system plus a 14th “accessory” battery. This accessory battery is for the keyless entry receiver/power locks, alarm, A/C that can run with the key off! This accessory battery is charged whenever the key is on, a great idea! 30 Amp DC/DC converter made by "Iota" providing 12V for lights, entertainment system, wipers, etc., 2 other DC/DC converters in parallel for redundancy supplying 12V to the automatic vacuum pump (for power brakes). It has recent brake calipers and brake pads. Manzanita Micro PFC-20 120–240V charger on-board, includes both 120 & 240 Volt charging cables.

Radio/TV/DVD/CD/Bluetooth/USB player, fancy speakers. Recent paint, carpet and seats. Batman Battery Management System - This LCD continuously displays Voltage of main battery bank, Amp draw (and charge), Amp hours used (and charged/put back in), a bar graph kind of "Gas Gauge" of remaining battery power, and there is a switch to backlight it. In one photo it is displaying that +5 Amps are going into the batteries (charging), they are measuring 176 volts, I had used 10.77AHrs and this number counts down to 000.00AH as it charges at the rate of 0.01AH per 7 seconds on 120V charge @ 5 Amps (you can turn the charging rate up) making it predictable how long the recharge will take (in this case 1077 X 7 / 3600 = ~ 2 hrs. The bar graph showing that I used about 1/4 "tank". The charger shuts down automatically. Separate LCD display for accessory battery Voltage. New front springs. Good front tires, new rear tires (Aug 2013). Air conditioning (ask me about this, cold air, draws little power!). Carpeted rear deck is available for storage (8 batteries located below, easy access). 5 batteries located down low in the front (easy access), a well balanced car. LED taillights. Top speed 70 – 80 MPH. Range 20 – 40 mi. between charges. Lots of pep! Converted in 2009. Cost of conversion - $20,000. You will find pix of this car on the Web back when the builder had 26 6 volt batteries, now that there are only 13 batteries there is SO much more room under the hood, more than the original car! The word “Electric” on the side is a vinyl decal that can be peeled off easily. If you have been looking at these parts you know this stuff is not cheap. The on-board battery charger alone costs over $2,100,

Google it. I bought the car in February 2013. Fun car! Reason for selling - change in work, need that long distance car. Using it for local stop and go city runs on evenings and weekends where my gas car gets the worst gas mileage. Car is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. $9,999 or best offer. Do the math - add up the price of the EV parts...about $10K. It's like - buy the EV parts and batteries and you're getting the Porsche, the engine removal, the welding, battery racks, motor shaft coupler and mounting plate and wiring FREE! Runs great, turn the key and go. I do. Got questions? Ask! Come by, we'll go for a spin. I also have a great 12V high power ceramic heater that I have not installed yet and a car cover, I'll include them.
