1979 Porsche 924 EV now on the road

I finished my second EV conversion last month and got it on the road. The hardest parts? Designing and implementing the battery racks took about 1/3 of my conversion time. The power wiring was easy by comparison, even having to make my own custom-length battery cables. The control wiring required tapping into the old wiring harness but that was quite educational and not too hard when you have a Haines manual. The hardest parts were mechanical, at least for me. Cars are dirty, dusty, greasy things at best when they're this old. Getting the ICE stuff out was messy, hard, and knuckle-busting, especially when working outside (Minnesota) in February. And of course cars are still just cars. The first shakedown cruise was aborted after only 15 miles when we realized that a stuck disc brake was severely lowering the range. All better now. Mileage with our 14.5 kWHr, gel-cell pack, at 55 mph, is only 50. But at 30 mph it goes up to 103, and at 90 mph it slumps to 15. Works well for us and it's quicker than the ICE version.
