“If you’re looking for information about a Do-It-Yourself EV conversion, look no further. Richard van Wyhe and EV4U have what you need. After purchasing an EV kit from another supplier, I was very disappointed by the lack of information and support. Hoping to fill the gaps in my knowledge, I turned to EV4U’s Online EV Workshop. Bottom line, EV4U gave me the information I needed to make good choices about converting my vehicle. They provided not only general electrical education, but “how to” demonstrations and the information I needed to personalize my installation. I couldn’t have completed my project as quickly, or professionally, without their help. EV4U’s Online EV Workshop was worth every penny!”
