Is there any way to get involved in EV conversions?

[gmaz]

I have a huge interest in EVs and would like to get involved in working on conversions as a hobby. I'd be happy to invest time and (some) money so is there anything like this happening in the Bristol area.

I think you’re closest, high profile, company is just over the border in Wales. They converted an old Range Rover last year and do other classics.

Thanks, I saw them but can only find "mid-wales" as their location. Where are they exactly?

They do seem remarkably secretive as to their location. I assumed they just didn’t want anyone knowing the colour of the doors on their boathouse?

If you do end up working for them, i'd not touch anything as the quality of their conversions looks to leave a bit to be desired in terms of HV safety........

Might be worth a Trip to Fully Charged Live this weekend to talk to the EV converters that are going to be there?
