Conversion Time~40hrs so far.
Conversion CostTotal cost is estimated to be around $17k. New incentives in Ontario planned for July 2010 would reduce that to a total of $7k. And that's including the donor Porsche!
Additional FeaturesWe have a number of optional upgrades planned, including adding a set of supercapacitors to reduce battery stress, upgrading the controller to run the motor with separately excited windings + regenerative braking, and a heavy diet of carbon fibre.

Once this flagship electric 944 is up and running we will be taking orders for the next conversion. Take advantage of the upcoming Ontario electric car incentives and let us make your electric car.
