Video: First Test Drive

The video for my first electric test drive:




My dad was in town and helped with the last two days of wiring, so he got the first ride.

  1. At first I'm impressed with how quiet it is at low speed, and then I'm surprised by the noise change once you feed it some more power. Very cool!

    1. I'll have to post another video. I got rid of the high pitch whine that occurs under acceleration by switching the controller to "quiet" mode. I also had some old cables dragging that were causing a lot of racket. I removed them. But that whirling noise in one of the passes near the end of the video is the sound of the transmission at 4800 RPM. That will still be there. Thanks for your comment.

  2. Joey,
    Congratulations on getting your electric Porche on the road! Have you considered adding your EV to the EV Club at http://evclub.org. There is a widget that you can get which displays your miles driven right on your blog.

    1. Thanks Ken. That widget sounds cool. I'll see about adding my car to the site the next time I update my blog.
