Each Sinopoly 180Ah Lithium battery costs around $225 new, so you're looking at $225 x 34 = $7,650 to replace the batteries.

some more details on his blog....pretty cool stuff, I'd just be leary of the cost to replace the batteries, as it's been sitting for two years.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Was going to add this to the 'found on CL' thread but thought it was interesting enough for it's own post. (i have no affiliation)

Electric Boxster Conversion
This is what got me into Porsches to start with back in '08.
But the battery prices were through the roof -- so I ended up rebuilding the Boxster S engine -- and a after a peak of 9 Porsches -- I've trimmed down to 7.
Should have just bought the dang batteries -- or a Tesla Roadster -- either are looking pretty cheap at the moment....

Cool project. Check out the guy's blog for details.
Looks like he did this job properly. A test drive will reveal what condition it's in and what issues it may have. The electric throttle and its coordination with the brakes is something I'd inspect closely. If I were a prospective buyer, my main concern would be about documentation. The wiring diagram is obviously a critical element.
This is a really cool project but I would be extremely concerned about the battery pack. That is the most expensive part of the car.
The typical life for a lithium ion battery is around 3 years. Not using the batteries doesn't extend the life. If the car has sat unused for 2 years and it took 1 year to build, its hard to know how much battery life is left.
Each Sinopoly 180Ah Lithium battery costs around $225 new, so you're looking at $225 x 34 = $7,650 to replace the batteries.
Its interesting to note that the entire car is worth the price of a new battery pack.
