^ you guys are funny but man I'm gettin' tired of making these Oil Guys rich.
Gasoline is totally assenine....I hope this electric car in a Porsche thing takes off.

_FAQ__________________________________
"What about EvPorsche Hybrids? For people who are not ready to take the plunge in an all electric vehicle.

We offer 3 different options.

1). First we have an electric-start generators that are mounted on board, typically in the front of the 911. It powers the charger that charges while you are driving, sitting, in, or away from the car. Just hit the electric start from the dash when you need it. Depending on your amp-out requirements they will extend your range, or with a larger unit, offer range limited only by fuel which can be propane, natural gas, or gasoline (ughh). 3 gallons lasts over 5 hours with our electric start 4000watt gen. If you have to use fuel the mpg is around 100 mpg.

2) The second option is 2 suitcase generators, quiet, small, 45 lbs ea., enclosed, connected together. Carry them when you might need them, leave them at home when you don't. Also can be run on the road, driving, or sitting.

3) We are also offering a new integrated hybrid system for ANY front engine, rear wheel drive, automatic cars, '96 or newer, that incorporates our drive shaft mounted electric assist motor. The system gives approx. 28% better fuel mileage with the electric motor kicking in when most needed- under acceleration. Other advantages are a) lower installation costs than a full EV, b) no range issue, integrates into the transmission computer and c) pays for itself over short time. Its truly an inexpensive conversion for those front engine, rear wheel drive, automatics like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and American cars as well as delivery trucks, taxis, school buses etc.

How far can I go on a charge? A pack can be designed for your needs. Its how many amp hours you want to buy, you could buy enough to drive 50 in lithium or lead acid and over 300 miles with Lithium. You may want to buy the least that you are comfortable with. You can add more, but you may not want to carry extra weight around if you don't really need to. Even a 50 mile car can be driven 300 miles in a day with couple hour charges each extended stop.

What are the pros and cons of Lithium Batteries? They have come a long way and now are safer, more powerful, faster charging, lighter weight and take up less space. The drawback is a bit more complexity with the need of a Battery Management System, and wiring and managing of hundreds or thousands of cells. The good news is after our configuring, and BMS system is in place, it should not require user interface. Batteries are monitored to keep from overcharging or getting hot from hard acceleration. Voltage drop in Lithium cells is almost non-existent meaning more power to the ground. Lithium cells are offered in many chemistries. Different battery manufacturers offer solutions to range and/or speed requests. The "C" rating of a battery shows its ability to multiply amp hour ratings for "burst power". Amp hour x "C" for 10-15 sec. burst power means the 10amp battery with a 10C rating can put out burst power of 100 amps from a single 10 amp li-po. The new 25C rated battery burst power of 250 amps! Ratings of 3C - 25C are now available allowing for balance of vehicle performance needs to range requested. In a Porsche, as space is at a premium, Lithium cells offer about 2/3 more luggage space than conventional batteries. Also a Lithium Porsche capable of 120 mile range has a very close overall weight to its OEM gasoline counterpart. All EVPorsche cars offers better weight distribution and lower center of gravity, Lithium also offers the total weight advantage. Several battery companies are claiming incredible charge times, cycles, range and lifespan. EvPorsche is dedicated to continuing research and staying abreast of developing Lithium vehicles capable of incredible performance and agility.

How long does it take to charge? That really depends on how many amp hours that you took out of your pack last time you drove the car, what voltage and amperage you are putting it back in at. It can be from 20min-2 hours on 230volt. 20-40amp chargers typically are used on board. A solar collected, higher voltage set of batteries could be connected, ex.- an Ev-Carport, to the Ev set and move that energy at 250amps, or in about 5-10 min. When I plug in my garage its generally filled back up in 20 min- 2 hours.

How long do the batteries last? The odyssey lead acids are claimed to last 8 years with a 4 year full replacement warrantee. Lithiums are in the 4-12 year range depending on chemistry type, number of cycles, depth of discharge.

What if I don't have 220volts available to charge my EvPorsche with? Most anywhere you can find 110volt -normal house current. We include an adaptor that allows you to plug your charger into 110 for a slower but convenient charge. The old gas filler is used. Not that you wouldn't be watching your "gas" gauge but if needed most Wal-Mart, Costco, Sams, and other warehouse stores have RV parking in the outskirts of the lot to plug in while you are shopping.

How do I know how much juice left? The PakTrakr gauge give stats on Voltage, Amps draw, individual bank state of charge. That and the speedo are about the only gauges to watch as there is no more overheating, charging, or gas to worry about anymore...

What about Maintenance of the EV components? The batteries, motor,& controller are basically maintenance free, no tune-ups. We are working on an infrastructure of techs around the world that can help if the unexpected occurs. The Controller connects to a laptop or PDA for error codes. Usually tech support can be accessed by troubleshooting phone problem solving.

Does anything happen with the A/C, power windows, locks and other accessories? The objective is for the electric components of the car to still work as it did as a gasser. There are 2 ways that the air conditioning can be done; using the drive system motor or using another dedicated DC motor. The electric system is left in the donor car to minimize any changes to any other electrical systems separate from our drive propulsion system.

How Fast will the EvPorsche go? We can build for quickness, top speed, range, or handling but easily into the triple digits. 0-60 can be around 5 seconds, 0-100 faster with 2 motors and series to parallel switching.

How does the Series-Parallel switching work? With the 2 motor setup we offer in the 8", 9", and 11" motors. By using 2 motors mated together with some special software, programming, and a couple of reversing contactors switching to "parallel" accelerates hard 50-100mph again as it did from 0-50mph

The 2 motor system with the (2) 9s has a little more RPM, HP with a bit more total weight than (1) 11" motor. The 11" has the bottom end grunt to pull 4th gear Porsches off the line hard without hesitation. If you are spending most of your time in the 50+ mph range the 2 motor system may work best for you, if you are more city or under 50 more than above the single 11" offers great pull. For big power requirements the 13" offers the series-parallel switching with 1 motor.

How cost effective is an EV? You can save approx $7k a year on fuel/maintenance...or $49k in 7 years. If you live in the UK you can pay for your Porsche in just a few years with the savings...call me for details@ 561-301-2369

What does a 911 Porsches price point start at? Around $42K will get you a Boxster and our conversion on it. or $48K for a 911, donor and our EV conversion to it.

How much does does it cost to charge? Depends on how much you take out, but most cars are around 30cents-$1.50 per charge.

Are EVs good Daily Drivers? Yes I drive them 95% of my driving, they are just more fun, getting to speed quickly, coasting silently...

What about Financing?: We offer layaway and payment plan for 1 year or you can secure a conventional loan from a specialty car lender like- JJBEST at http://www.jjbest.com/ "
