Water Charity Electric Porsche Project


By chief - Posted on 01 September 2008

To aid in bringing Water Charity into the public eye, we are working on the Electric Porsche Project. We are doing this with our own funds, and there is no use of Water Charity money for this project.

We are converting a 1975 Porsche 914 to run on electric power. When completed, it will have a top speed of 100 miles per hour and a range of 150 miles. It will prominently be marked with Water Charity and Electric designations, and will be sure to attract lots of attention to both topics.

We have acquired the car and are moving on to the next stages. The gas engine will be removed and new suspension installed to handle the battery weight. The car will then be taken to the paint shop. Once we get it back, we’ll drop in the electric motor, hook it up to the clutch and transmission, install the controller, put in low- and high-voltage wiring, and drop in the batteries. We’ll plug it in to the wall socket, wait 6 hours, and then drive it home.




We are a 501(c)(3) public charity. If you like the work we are doing, we invite you to make a tax-exempt donation of any amount.
