Here's my parting shot with Dan, the new 914 EV owner. Dan has worked with a Bradley GT EV before, so he knows the ropes. I'm sad to see the car go, but I've got the Civic-EV and it does very well. Farewell 914EV. Cheers, Tim Porsche 914 EV Conversion - Sunday, February 8, 2009 Time to sell the 914 It's time to sell the electric 914. It's been a fun road, but I have three cars now (as a single guy) and only a 1-car garage in the middle of the city. The car has been good to me and made the electric Civic project go so much faster. I've learned much and shared many experiences with other people converting 914s. Many best wishes to everyone, Ti Porsche 914 EV Conversion - Tuesday, February 3, 2009 | -

As I mentioned yesterday, Gary Graunke (president of the OEVA) graciously offered to let me borrow a lug crimper to attach high-current lugs to the welding cable I purchased.

Yesterday was a long day. spent over seven hours on my feet at the Portland Better Living Show displaying the 914.

But one of its hometown papers jumped the gun and broke the news: The largest domestic car company will launch a small battery electric vehicle in the U.S. market.

GM uses a fairly effective visual to promote its college discount in recent ads. beautiful co-ed (for our younger readers, that means a female student), sitting in the passenger seat of a passing car, grins at a clearly embarrassed bicyclist, who tries in vain to hide his identity with an open hand. As if the visual isn’t enough, GM backs Green Car Reports - Wednesday, October 12, 2011
