We convert vehicles to electric power. We focus on older vehicles and reusing components bound for scrap yards.

Engineering Update: Relocating shocks to make room for Volts. ⚡️📦
We’ve been heads-down in CAD redesigning the FrontiEV battery enclosures. The goal? Move the batteries from the truck bed to under the frame.

Most people see an electric truck and think about the motor. We think about the battery!
To get the FrontiEV battery under the bed, we’re designing custom enclosures. This isn't just "making it fit", its about meeting vehicle needs!
Question: would you eliminate the third box and 16% of capacity?

Is your car a good EV conversion candidate?
In our new blog post we break down:
• What types of vehicles tend to work well
• When a vehicle is not a good candidate
• How we evaluate your specific car or truck
If you’re curious where your vehicle lands, read the full guide:

Thinking about an EV conversion in 2026?
If you’re in Hawaiʻi and have a truck, roadster, or classic you’d like to switch to electric, now is a good time to reach out.
Contact us (link in bio), and we’ll let you know if you have a good candidate vehicle and what the next steps might be.

Charlie Brown and I (and some friends) had permits to get trees from the Mokulē'ia Forest Reserve. So here's this year's Christmas tree loaded up and ready to head home!

Bye bye #Miata1EV! We hardly new you!what a great platform to learn on. Looking forward to a real build on a Miata in better condition.

#Miata1EV subframe is out! Everything came off pretty easily except the swaybar endlinks. The LSD is still installed and may try to sell that as-is. Otherwise, we can pull and sell separate. It's not new, but only installed and never used!

Saving #Miata1EV subframe. We are convinced the Leaf motor and gear reduction will fit here! While in between builds, we are going to figure this out!

We see more Miatas in the future, so we are keeping some key pieces. First to come out are the #coilovers! How low can you go?

While disassembling #Miata1EV, we wanted to share what worked. We reused the drive selector mechanics so that D and R were selected by new momentary push buttons. N was selected by pressing the original Leaf P.
This proved more reliable than the reed (magnetic) switches for D and R in #FrontiEV.

We need garage space! We already scavenged some parts from Miata1EV for the FrontiEV, now its time to get serious. First we will get the battery and all HV parts out to reuse later. Then some of the nice parts for our local Miata community! Stay tuned!

AI graphed some gear ratios for us. FrontiEV has 31inch tires and not expected to ever see 80 mph. These ratios seem readily available. With 200k on the trans, trying to keep RPMs below 7000. Hardbodies have 4.11 and same axle codes!

It's been a while so here's an overview of where our FrontiEV build is today. The interior is buttoned up and all wire leads for Arduino control of dash and HVAC are in place. Nothing has changed in the engine bay or bed, but we take a look anyway!
