At SEMA, Rory Baldrey from Legacy EV walks through the full electric conversion of HP Tuners classic air-cooled 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera, powered by a Cascadia Motion motor and controlled via HP Tuners' Core EV VCU (ECU). Rory explains how this setup compares to more common OEM-based swaps, like Tesla drivetrains, and why they opted for a high-voltage 800V system. 

From regen tuning to thermal management, and the cost vs. flexibility tradeoffs of aftermarket parts, it’s a practical look into how EV swaps are evolving and what's possible at the cutting edge of performance electric conversions.
