Not sure why someone would take a classic Porsche (even a replica) and install into it a technology that is going to be very short lived in the auto-industry. It's great looking though.

Pete, I agree, the liquid battery of todays EV's is nearing the end of its design validity and production run. 10 days ago VW group paid another milestone payment to Quantum Scape (QS) as the long term testing of the QS solid state battery has passed with flying colors and they are moving toward production under the QS licensing agreement with VW's subsidiary battery manufacturer - Power Co. Porsche cars will be featuring the solid state battery technology as well. Charging stations will have to change as well. As a late adopter of EV technology, my thinking is that EV's are getting closer to prime time with this development. My guess is five years until we start to see meaningful market penetration.

The QS battery charges from 10 - 80% in only 15 minutes and as a solid/solid battery with no liquid has almost no fire danger or degradation - even after 1,000 charging cycles it retains 95% of its charging capacity.

I'm not going to belabor this discussion because my favorite toys remain fire breathing ICE monsters.
