DIY EV CHAT
There’s an incredible, global community that has sprung up around the desire to convert old cars to electric. People who love recycling and people who are doing it for performance. People who want to save money, and people doing it just for the fun of the engineering challenge. I set out to meet an interview some of them, and then give them a forum for discussion, with DIY EV Chat.
Jamie Jones and the Bugplug
In this first episode of DIY EV Chat, I speak to Jamie Jones about his adventures in EV conversion, from his son's bike to his electric Beetle, the Bugplug. How did he get started? What were the biggest challenges? And the greatest rewards? Listen and find out.
If you're interested in finding out more about Jamie's BugPlug, check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JamieJones1985. You can also find his GitHub repositories for various bits of code and parts here: https://github.com/jamiejones85
Jamie and I are both hugely indebted to the OpenInverter community and particularly Johannes Hübner and Damien Maguire.
