These guys are converting a 986 Boxster to electric power.

Did you miss it? Speed Yellow. Looked very nice. It was clear there was some serious quid invested in it.

Only downside was it only got from 80-100 miles per charge... and it charged via a standard wall outlet.

I thought it was awesome... considered it... wife said, "No".

Yeah, It was deleted when I went to look for it. I'd have jumped on it, if it was closer to me. Was it a Tesla conversion? I think that's what they're installing in the OP's video. 80-100 mile range works well for my wife. Her commute is only about 10 miles each way.

It wasn't a Tesla conversion. I forge the details... but I visited the website from where he sourced the parts and it was a legit outfit. One of our members suggested ~$30K went into the conversion. It looked to be a real clean conversion... no Mickey Mouse stuff.

My wife's commute is ~8 miles round trip... and I thought she'd jump on it.
