This 1972 Porsche 914 was acquired in 2004 by the seller, who reports that it was retrofitted with its current powertrain in 2021. Controlled by a Switcher battery management system, the setup includes 10 lithium-ion batteries linked to a 9″ DC electric motor and a five-speed manual transaxle. The car is finished in gray over tan upholstery, and it has a removable hardtop, a custom rear decklid, 15″ alloy wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes. This 914 is now offered at no reserve with a battery charging array and a clean California title in the name of the seller’s business.
The car is finished in semigloss gray, and it has pop-up LED headlights, front fenders without indicator lights, a black removable Targa top, and a rear decklid made with fiberglass and carbon fiber. The windshield wipers are not working.
Pedrini 15″ alloy wheels are mounted with Bridgestone tires. KYB dampers are noted, and the seller reports that fewer than 150 miles have been driven since the brake calipers, lines, and front rotors were replaced in 2016.
Flanking centrally mounted circuit breakers, fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed with tan upholstery over color-coordinated carpets. Rust damage is reported under the driver’s seat.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames a monitor mounted in the instrument cluster next to a voltmeter. The vehicle does not have an odometer, however the seller reports driving approximately 100 miles since 2021.
Four of the car’s 10 LMFP lithium-ion batteries are mounted in the front trunk, while six are installed out back, and each is wired in parallel with a Maxwell ultracapacitor. An energy rating of 12.8 kWh is reported by the seller, who notes the Switcher battery management system utilizes an algorithm to dictate which batteries are switched into the power circuit, and the setup does not require fans or other cooling components. A ZEVA MC1000C DC motor controller is also fitted that can be used as an alternative controller.
A 9″ DC electric motor sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
