Test Drive to Work
Porsche 914 EV Conversion

Shifting was a real pain on city streets since the electric motor changes RPM very quickly during acceleration or regeneration. It took me 30 seconds to get up to 60 mph. If my ammeter from West Marine is correct, then just cruising takes about 50 amps and every time I accelerate even slightly, the current goes up over 200 amps.
