Welcome to the channel, this is where we do EV conversions on fun and interesting cars and try to get as much power as possible from the mainstream OEM EV components currently available today. Our current project is to build an Electric Porsche 911 using the inverter, motor and battery pack from a Nissan Leaf. The subject of our Electric Conversion is a 1998 Porsche 996 Carrera S. I hope you enjoy following our progress through the project.

This old Porsche 911 has seen a fair amount of abuse over it's 130,000 miles and some of the parts are really showing their age. In order to ensure the car continues to handle like a Porsche 996 when we get it back on the road I am replacing the old, rusted and perished suspension components to completely overhaul the front suspension.

We're replacing all the control arms, the shock absorber and the drop links of this multilink suspension set up to ensure that there are no handling issues once we get on the road.

We do builds and projects with electric motors and on electric vehicles. The automotive world is moving towards electric cars at a great pace, but a lot of these are focussed on the mass market or are very expensive performance vehicles.

We want to see what can be done to create our own performance electric cars using the currently available components. We'll take you through every step of our projects (both successes and failures.)

Please come and join us on this journey.
