Paul Compton and the 100mph electric Scirocco

DIY EV Chat
Written By Tom Cheesewright

In this episode of DIY EV chat I speak to stalwart of the EV conversion scene, Paul Compton, a man with an incredible car history and some fantastic projects underway. We talk about EV racing in the US (check out the YouTube clip below), taking on other people's dodgy conversions, and his upcoming Lotus projects. And we cover the restoration of his ground-breaking electric VW/Karmann Scirocco.

If you want to follow those projects, you can find Paul's YouTube channel here: <https://www.youtube.com/user/EVguru
