@@justinbennitt835 Dear Sir, I am too lazy to do deep research into their energy production, but a casual glance at "the internets” tells me that although their renewable energy sector is growing, they are still burning fossils. And of course you know there are NO "environmental consequence free" energy production methods available today. And of course you understand that having a machine which doesn't burn anything UNDER THE BONNET simply means a shift of emissions and pollution from the end user to point of production. And of course you are aware these batteries are incredibly toxic to produce and to dispose after their 10 year life span, not to mention the highly toxic process to make body panels. Is this thing less harmful to the environment compared to "old school" vehicle (toxic production and eventual disposal, plus emissions and environmental impact to generate electricity)? Probably... but I am yet to see non-biased rock solid data, especially in the age of organized agressive data suppression and censorship (fact checks are opinions 🤣😅😂). But calling it "emissions-free" is simply a lie.
Yes, and i see you did bring up the batteries that are horrible to the environment. They did do a test a couple of years ago and found out that two similar cars one electric and one fuel efficient petrol resulted is that the electric had poluted the world the same before it got to showroom as the petrol would have done during 10 years of use.
Thank God Porsche already started the construction of their first synthetic fuel factory in Chile, the internal combustion cars are not going anywhere and they will be even cleaner than EVs, this classic car conversion trend needs to stop, especially on cars like this one.
Sacrilegio diría yo! Para mi la solución es la siguiente: si no se puede utilizar más combustible fósil en estos clásicos que los dejen para admirarlos en algún museo (si es que dan la talla) o guardados en un garage para recordar que tuvieron un pasado mejor
You think that's bad Mr Purist..... I'm electrifying a TVR 😜 You can get this Porsche EV kit from Zero EV for £55k alternatively Design 911 do a package using a company called ECO Classics to do the conversion.
The ICE version is restricted in cities, towns etc... you want ICE you pay a daily price, fuel, tax, entry fee or just park it up ?? miles away and get the bus.
You can recharge it while having a cup of coffee, this just needs a bit of planning. I mean noone drives 180 miles across country roads without a stop, at least if it's for a recreational purpose
Surely 500hp is faster than 12.8 at the quarter mile? A lightly tuned 90s turbo car will beat that time with less than 350hp. Whats the top speed of this? Staying ICE sure saves a lot of money that can be spent on gas.
2:15 the what? the essence went to the garbage together with the engine and the gearbox of the car, this is no longer a classic car is more like a zombie of a classic car.
It's super cool but for $300,000, it's not worth it unless your big time multi-millionaire who doesn't care to spend $300,000 Plus on a toy car. You can just go by three Model S plaid for the price of one of these.

If you’re going to charge between 20-80% of the 180 mile max range (which is based on unachievable tests anyway) then that’s a 50 mile each way journey, being generous. If you’re using all 500hp then expect 35-40 miles each way. Utterly pointless sacrilege for people who don’t really like cars, but like having expensive “stuff”. As they say, there’s a arse for every seat. If they can find enough idiots with a quarter of a million quid to burn, then best of luck to them. But they themselves cannot be considered car enthusiasts, they’re doing nothing more than building big kids toys.

I'm doing a Carrera 3.2 engine now and see the platform does adapt well for electrification. The kits I've seen are reversible and have half the battery up front and half in the rear. Trailing arms adapt well for the motors. Once the batteries get more range and ger lighter, I'd suspect more of these will be done. The flat 6 that everyone loves is the ultimate LEGO engine with scores of individual expensive parts and is very labor intensive to rebuild. At some point the skill and parts availability just won't be there and these 911 EV kits will be more attractive for some owners in the decades ahead.

Charge Point are owned by big oil thus have reasons to charge over the the top prices so you go back to ICE where they get ££ of the public and subsidies of governments aka paid twice for the same product....
