It’s not unheard of to convert a Porsche to an EV, but this may be the first time it has bee done to a 928.

The owner pulled the V8 engine, then jettisoned everything else that wasn’t mission critical – including hardware from the doors, wheels and tires. This amounted to about 1,700 pounds.

But then he added 1,300 pounds of batteries.

Presto, electric Porsche.

The AAM, along with the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, the American Council for the Blind and the National Federation for the Blind have agreed on a plan to address a potential problem caused by electric and hybrid cars — they can endanger sight-impaired and distracted pedestrians because they’re too quiet.

Collectively, the groups have suggested new language that could become part of the Motor Safety Act of 2010, a bill now moving through Congress that would create new auto safety rules.

Sometimes even sighted pedestrians can be unaware of the cars’ approach. Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a study that showed that hybrid cars tend to hit pedestrians more often than other cars in situations where the approaching car cannot be seen.

Nissan engineers recently suggested another solution to the problem: Giving the Nissan Leaf the whirring sound like Rick Deckard’s Blade Runner police spinner. The sound would kick in automatically when the car starts, then shut off at about 12 mph.

To meet their electrical energy needs, Peder and Julie Nordby, installed solar panels on the rooftop of their home. They also got a BMW Mini E.

Their home’s rooftop solar panels generate 12,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year — enough to power their entire home and their BBW Mini E.

The Mini E’s regenerative braking system gives the small car a lot of perk. Software in the EV’s computer system give it a slight pause when the acceleration pedal is  initial pressed — this prevents burnout from a standstill — and the Mini’s response quickly reverts to normal.

Although EVs like the mini cost more than traditional vehicles, and solar panels are expensive, the Norby’s are breaking away from the electrical grid, avoiding power outages, unsightly power lines — and lines at the gas pump.

The Evora also has a gasoline motor that powers a generator when its lithium-ion battery pack is tapped out. The battery pack is good for 35 miles, then a Lotus-designed monoblock three-cylinder engine kicks in.

Lotus hasn’t said when, or if, the Evora 414E will see production…but it sure is pretty to think it will.

The i-flow’s features an adaptive front spoiler and side rocker blade, jewel-like headlamps and tail lamps and Hyundai’s hexagonal grille.

But it’s what’s under the hood — and on the roof — that takes the vehicle to a deeper shade of “green.” The i-flow has a diesel-hybrid powertrain, which includes two-stage turbocharging for the 1.7-liter engine that works with a lithium-ion-polymer battery and a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission.

The i-flow also has solar panels on the roof and a thermo-electric generator that recovers energy.

Even though they’ve been around for about a century, electric vehicles have never really got that much respect.  But that could change now that Tesla’s zero-emissions Roadster — which can travel about 220 miles on a single charge — has proven that EVs can perform as handily as their gasoline-powered counterparts.

To read more about the Roadster, and see more pictures, go here.
