This Porsche Boxster S had 40,000 original miles before the conversion to all electric drive. This is a professional conversion done by Electric Vehicle Concepts.
This car retains the original air conditioning and all other features that come on a $65,000 Porsche Boxster. The Boxster now weighs less than the original gas model. The high volt and high amp system creates near the same power and performance as the original Porsche gas engine with top speeds over 125 mph. This car has a range of over 50 miles at 55 mph. All the original trunk space is available in the rear and interior areas, as well as most of the front. New 100 amp cells have been located in the front and rear compartments. These lithium cells are showing life spans over ten years. An EVpower battery management system is connected to each cell to control charging and the low voltage warning system.
The Manzanita PFC30 charger and BMS control box are accessible behind the driver’s seat. The charger is wired at this time to use 110 AC outlets but can be changed to use 220 AC outlets. An adapter can be used for public charging stations. There is forty feet of charging extension cord that feeds into the original gas tank area. Charging times are equal to the miles you have driven. Using 110 AC power the charging is equal to one hour for every 10 miles. With the charger set for 220 AC the charge time is cut in half.
The 9” motor is coupled to the original six speed manual transmission with a new clutch and pressure plate. This car can be driven in third or fourth gear on city streets up to 60 mph without shifting or using the clutch. For freeway speeds over 60 mph shifting to fifth or sixth gear is desired.

Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
