The EV West Air Cooled Porsche Starter Kit is perfect for those looking for a professional fit and finish on the drive components, but are willing to build and install their own battery system. This easy bolt in AC motor and controller system was designed to have a minimal vintage look so it blends in well with your air cooled classic.
This kit comes with your AC motor with regenerative braking, programmable controller, aluminum controller mount, high voltage charger, bell housing adapter plate, flywheel coupler, motor controller liquid cooling plate, radiator, state of charge instrumentation, throttle controller, and DC/DC convertor.
After mounting this kit, the only thing left is to add a battery system, including cables, fuses, and contactor box, and you are ready to drive your classic Porsche on all electric drive.
