There seems to be quite a few 914s converted to EV... I guess the light mid engine setup makes it a good platform

other cars converted to electric: EVALBUM COM
I'd love to go 100% electric... but my commute too far, for an EV to be practical.
I've been looking into Solar Hot-water for my home... they can supposedly reduce your home heating costs as much as 80% which is quite handy. these days it costs me a grand to fill my home heating oil tank, and that gets done 4 times a year
If battery tech was to improve such that they were half their current size with double their current range, and roughly the same price, I'd probably convert nearly every car I own.
EDIT:
Wouldn't you know what article I came across on my daily visit to hackaday.com Apparently MIT found a way to store engery with water that is more efficient than modern batteries.
