I'm really the wrong person to ask about that. Maybe the biggest difference is that I have mine, and I can drive it now (for maybe another 20 or 30 miles, until the charging cable arrives). Can you buy the RUF Porsche yet? If not, that's a pretty big difference. But as for technical or quality differences, I cannot even tell you much about mine, and I know nothing about that other one.How does your conversion compare to the RUF Porche conversion?
I doubt it. Most likely when they were using the Zilla controller they could have a 225+ pack voltage and the controller could step it down to something like 172 which the motor can easily handle. With the higher pack voltage and lower motor voltage you don't feel any effects of battery voltage sag. I've never seen a system that steps up the voltage. From the picture it looks as if they are not using the Zillas any longer, (maybe a Logisystem or Electrocraft?), since they aren't being made, and the controller they are using isn't capable of running the higher voltage. I hope you got a price break for the lower voltage system.My original contract specifies eleven inch warp motor, 1000 amp controller, 225+ volt system. My battery pack is actually 144 volts, but I don't know if the "system" is at a higher voltage than the pack. I know my Prius has a 201-volt pack but the "system" operates at about 500 volts with a voltage converter. Maybe the Porsche does something similar???.
Paul convinced me that regen doesn't do enough good.
Random comments:
* Yes, the Zilla is basically out of production, and the alternatives tend to not be as powerful.
