EV West Electric BMW M3 at Pikes Peak

If you are following my blog, you already know that EV West from San Diego converted a 1995 BMW M3 to Electric Drive

Well they did race @ Pikes Peak for the first time and were 54th overall which is very good for a start

Here is a practice run on board with Michael Bream (EV West co-founder), who actually drove the car for the race too because the professional driver could not make it for this date, the event being push from july to august because of wild fires

More about this great conversion:

Bill Caswell Takes the BM M3 Electric Pikes Peak Race Car for a Test Drive - EV West

"OMG ! Is that the tires burning out ?! "  Big EV grin for Race car driver Bill Caswell  :-)



EV West: "Rally racing's favorite privateer and Pikes Peak veteren, Bill Caswell, stopped by the EV West shop to take the electric M3 for a test ride. Ride along with Bill as he takes his first ride in a performance oriented electric vehicle"









Matt Hauber a former intern at EVTV (the live cable cutter). They converted a 1995 BMW M3 to Electric drive with two Warp 11HV motors and EVnetics Shiva controller, and the result is scary !!
