Conversion Golf Cart Miles Porsche 
Open Source Civic EV Kit
APRIL 7, 2008
After spending the past year and a half converting a Porsche 914 to an electric vehicle, I decided to expand my horizons by designing an open-source electric vehicle (EV) conversion kit for a commonly used car. Unfortunately, these kits are for much older vehicles like the Porsche 914 and the VW Rabbit.

Since traffic is really light on Sunday morning, I drove to work (15 miles away) and back to see how the 914 would handle. I'm not sure how much current these golf cart batteries are designed for. I think people experience cognitive dissonance when they see a little red Porsche sports car being the slowest car on the road.

On a more dangerous note, I ordered my 18 USBatt 8-v golf-cart batteries from American Battery company in California. The effective range of the car might only be ten miles, but that's not a problem when drag racing since we can recharge between runs and reduced weight is more important.
