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.
Janosch Oppermann and the electric taxi
What happens DIY spirit and open source tech becomes a business? Janosch Oppermann and Alex Howard are converting London taxis into EVs, offering us all cleaner and quieter cities - and potentially a more profitable business for the driver. I talk to Janosch about his conversion journey, the pitfalls of the taxi business, and what it's like taking this tech to market.
Janosch and Alex's business, Clipper Automotive, is doing a small funding round as we recorded. If you like the sound their business and would like to invest, get in touch at https://www.clipper.cab/contact
