EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK

Vortex F1 Prototype
SHIFT EV helped get this concept car from its designers imagination to reality on a ridiculously short schedule. When we were first approached, it existed only in 3D CAD files. We procured local resources to produce female molds from the 3D models. Next, we worked with Cobra Kit producer "Pacific Roadster", who did superb work assembling the frame, suspension, new body panels and paint. SHIFT EV installed the electric drive system on location with the Lotus 7 style kit producer "Brunton Auto", who was tapped to make suspension refinements.  This prototype car is the only one of it's kind ever produced.
 
 

Before we were contacted to service this nice little conversion, it had been parked and disassembled for about a year. Others with good intentions attempted to diagnose the problem with its AC Propulsion system. We resolved it quickly and reassembled the interior. Then balanced, tested and detailed the car. We delivered it to the home of its happy owner, who's driving with an EV grin once again.

Inside this classic MGB are twelve TESLA modules with nearly 60kWh!

This car was converted to electric power elsewhere and arrived at the SHIFT EV shop in power-limited mode. It was not accepting charge attempts. We resolved several intermittent issues to get this classic back on the road. We also added the simple state of charge (SOC) display and an electric PTC heater system, plus many other improvements and fixes.

The repaired is now slightly quicker than the gas version and has a range between 150 and 200 miles per charge.

Powered with American made DC electric muscle, capable of 400 ft/lbs of torque. The motor is mounted to the stock six speed transaxle using the first adapter produced (for this transaxle) with a twin radial bearing motor coupling system. Inside is a custom 8-pound flywheel, 6 puck copper clutch and a Stage I KEP pressure plate. It has quite a launch, out performing the gas version's 0-60MPH time.

73 Porsche 914 ColageElectric Porsche 911 on Cover of Excellence MagOur objective for this car was a reliable range of >100 miles and to design-in some impressive acceleration.
 
We converted it from sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries to LiFePO4 including Battery Management System (BMS), J1772 inlet - for EVSE charge stations, charger and all affected systems.
 
In 2011, we took our first road trip of mixed driving, including highway, city, and country hills with a mix of conservative and aggressive acceleration. At 133 miles, a 2.5V cell alarm finally triggered (under load), which was the purpose of this test (not maximum range).
 
The car is also quite quick. We've limited the Zilla 2000 Amp controller to 1,400 Motor Amps, so far... It's up to the new owner to turn it up if they're not completely satisfied with acceleration as it is!
 
This car was featured in an article called "Plug and Play: Electric 914 " in the October, 2008 issue of Excellence Magazine, prior to its conversion from lead acid to lithium.
