EV Conversion
"If conventional combustion cars can be considered 'analog' technology," says Dr. Kang, "EVs represent nothing less than the digital evolution of the automobile."
Press Release:
HP electric car built in Tallahassee, Florida to be in Las Vegas show
A high performance electric car built in Tallahassee, Florida is at the SEMA show in LasVegas.The "Specialty
Equipment and Marketing Association" or SEMA, now recognizes that green cars represent new sales
opportunities for specialty automotive products. At its annual show in Las Vegas, SEMA, now has a "Making
Green Cool" 7one, or as SEMA defines it " The new generation of diesels, advanced hybrid power-trains,
extended-range and pure electric vehicles represent blank canvases for the performance and specialtyequipment
industry." This Tallahassee built car was accepted as a show car after having met the strict criteria
to be in the"Zone". The car is No# 912in the show, quite a coincidence since the car is a Porsche 912. No
car is more deserving of a spotlight in the "Making Green Cool Zone" than Sunshine State Restoration's 9l2
"electric" conversion. Muscle and other performance cars are synonymous with noise, high fuel consumption,
and carbon emissions. SSR's Porsche EV is almost silent as it whisks away, uses no fuel and releases no carbon
emissions. Porsche enthusiasts are sure to be intrigued to see this electric 912.
Steven Pisano and his team from Sunshine State Restorations built the car. Commissioned in November 2008
by Joe and Rhonda Gaudino, the car was built as a "proof of concept". lt was fitting that the Gaudinos wanted
to own an electric sports car, they are Porsche enthusiasts and they too wanted to prove that it could be
done, The project then came to life; to recycle a Porsche Carrera type speedster into a high performance
electric sports car. The car would get a complete concours level restoration, that is a complete tear-down and
rebuild. The ICE is gone. (lnternal Combustion Engine) lt now boasts 85 lithium ion batteries.This huge power
supply pushes 3l0VDC to a 40 Hp, ll l/2 inch electric motor. lt has so much torque it has to be computer
limited or damage can occur. This is done through a 2000Amp computerized controller.Still in testing many of
the performance specs are forecasted. Steven and his team are confident that the original goals of 100/100, or
100 mph and 100 miles range will be achieved. lt might in fact be 139 mph at 6000 rpm, the motor can do 8000
rpm, and it likes to go fast.The faster the more effrcient and the more cooling. And this many batteries might
in-fact yield in excess of 160 miles range on such a light car.The car has a custom air-conditioning and heating
installation and is quite the prize.The paint and interior are exemplary. Upon return home from the show the
vehicle will undergo a series of stress and performance tests in order to know the true specs.These will for
sure be an improvement over the original specs of the Porsche 9l2E, which had a top speed of I l0 mph, plus
the added benefit of a zero carbon footprint. Who said you can't have a high performance green car. This is
the big misconception that the general public has. Many people'believe electric cars to be little more rhan
stylish golf carts. Few have heard of the Tesla and little did they know that an elecrric cars can ourrun muscle
cars on a drag strip any day while breaking world records too. Ever heard of the White Zombie or the
Kilacycle.
SSR specializes in complete or partial restorations, interior shop, custom fabrication in both steel and
aluminum, and custom car projects such as this Porsche EV. Other services include classic car repairs, interior
work, appraisals, consulting and evaluation services and pre-purchase inspections. SSR is a collector car
specialist with experienced and dedicated to excellence and excellence in customer service.

ELECTRIFICATION OF TRANSPORTATION IS IN IMMEDIATE NEED. by Y Ev
The potential for the electrification of transportation appears to be far more immediate, well-tested, and readily available than most people realize. Of all the policy responses to the energy crisis, electrification of transportation appears to have the potential for the quickest and the most profound benefits for human health, land use, pollution, and Global Warming. Just the economic and social benefits of reduced automobile disabilities and deaths may justify the investment in electrified transportation. In addition air pollution and negative impact of "Peak Oil" have associated costs that are substantially reduced by ancillary benefits from the electrification of transportation. Thus when all alternatives to conventional petroleum are considered, the most beneficial alternative – electrified transportation – should be pursued most aggressively. With appropriate federal and local funding urban rail plans could be built out within a decade .
The battery technology already exists so that heavily used city bus lines could be converted to electric or trolley buses immediately. Fleet operators and regular commuters already have a vast array of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles coming to market within months to a year. The bottom line is: it is clear that electrification of transportation ought to be the leading economic and policy response to the advent of "Peak Oil", Global warming, Air Pollution and Dependence on foreign Oil.
Don't let the EV trend pass you by!
