Front and Mid Battery Strings Installed (still missing rear string)

Quest for an Electric Porsche Boxster.



Now with 2 battery strings installed. Other than road noise, the car is pretty quiet. There is a mild brushing sound from the motor as it spins up, and a catchy noise when activating the clutch. The rear of the car seems a bit unstable making turns under power, which we think is related to alignment. The weight of the car in the rear is lighter than stock, especially without the third battery string installed. The car is torquey with gentle driving. So far, I am impressed that the car works, and pretty well at this stage!
