This Porsche 911 EV Conversion is the new kid on the block and boy does it go like a rocket. It uses a brand new high power motor and a good size battery pack to not only go 0-60 in 3.8 with a top speed of 130mph, but also have a great range that would put some new cars to shame.
ECOClassics built this car and to order one you will need to speak to Design911. Here are both their websites:

With the Porsche Taycan now over taking the normal 911 in sales recently no doubt Porsche will be bringing their own electric 911 to the party soon enough. Or will Tesla or another new electric company blow them out of the water with their electric sports car???
This is a cut down ChargeheadsUK video without all the geeky stuff about the batteries etc to create more Chargeheads!!!
Don't worry you can still be a Chargeheads if you like non electric, have two heads like me!
At the start of 2021 I created Chargeheads to ELECTRIFY petrolheads essentially get more car enthusiasts into electric cars. An Electric Petrolhead if you like....A CHARGEHEAD!!!!
To start I decided to do an EV conversion and went on an amazing journey visiting many of the big companies in this field.
I selected the not so well known TVR Tasmin, AKA the Wedge (#TVRWedgee) to electrify after careful consideration of other cars. As I already had a TVR Griffith which I enjoyed driving and with my passion for raw, powerful, tail happy cars with no driver aids TVR was the obvious choice when selecting a car to electrify.
The 2nd build I started was the #SpecialTrikee project a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter that I am turning into a e-Trike I can use locally and ride around at shows. Mrs Chargehead calls it my special scooter.....that originally had a 50cc two stroke motor and has a "mis sold 250 watt motor" in it. This project wouldn't have got off the ground if it weren't for my mate Vinny, who also did my Integra DC2 turbo build in the naughties! youtube.com/watch?v=_3wPD...
The Latest project is Rustee #RusteeTesla the Tesla build to make a Model 3 Long Range....well.....better! This build is on a budget and in keeping with the Chargeheads green credentials I am using used parts where possible to modify.
I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.
Also Dr Nick Mason from ECO Classics and other EV specialists who are leading the field in electric transport.
So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well • EV Conversion Safety Video Part 1 Ele...

First vid of yours I've seen. What an awesome machine that is! The only way to properly future proof a classic while boosting it's performance. You've got a new subscriber too 👍🏼

Fantastic, Eddie liked it!
-
Fascinating stuff. Keep it up Tim.
-
Great video, what a awesome bat out of hell speed machine yet looks untouched looks wise 👍👏
-
I'm really starting to get convinced.
-
Awesome 😎

I have gained respect for both EV converted and Combustion powered cars.
Why? Because both the owners are willing to drive the heck out of them instead of some rich collector who's probably not even that into cars and is just doing it for investment and to make his house look better.
Its about the passion of the driver, not what's in your car. :> -
It would be nice to not just focus on how fast you can go. I like the idea of recycling, keeping a car going beyond where it would be with its older engine. I think eventually the focus will shift from speed to the conservation of resources conversions can mean.

What was the camera used to record the shots in the interview? it's impeccably stabilized especially when zoomed in.

🤦♂️ are they 😂
-
When converted to EV the auto is NO Longer a PORSCHE !
-
As soon as people accept the fact that a battery is a storage device and NOT a power source they will realise that EV's run on coal and natural gas!
