EVConvert
Engineering guides and curated parts kits for classic car EV conversions
The Problem
Classic car enthusiasts want their vehicles zero-emission. Conversion shops charge $50K+ with 12-month wait lists. The knowledge barrier, not the parts cost, is what makes it expensive.
Why You Win
You understand powertrain integration, high-voltage safety, thermal management, and the engineering that turns a custom conversion into a reliable daily driver.
