Love Porsche cars. I just hope they will build a electric one in the future.

Funny story,
Went to home depot today and parked next to a funny looking porsche car with lightning bolts on it. Thought it was pretty cool to see an electric porsche but didn’t know anything else about it. Get home later and see a link on Engadget for this very article. Very interesting. Would have talked to the guy had I know all the work he put in.

Katie,
Very cool video ! Im sorry I didnt give you a drive on the track. I think it would of changed your idea of the performance ability. I had been on the track three sessions already and I wanted to make sure my pack got charged up for the 70 mile drive home.
Thanks again for the interest.
Jeff

Nice, but hardly original. If you think this is notable, then you would have to be impressed that the current CTO at Tesla (JB Straubel) actually converted a Porsche 944 to electric way back in the late 90s while still in school at Stanford. Some of us saw him drive it from time to time back then. Of course, this was before youtube and self promotion via internet video.
