Love this EV West guy. Hope he continues till he 150 years young. Will he teach his kids and will they continue their father's work into their own idess? Planes, boats/ships, Pickup Trucks/Semis, Submarines, motorized bikes/scooters/EV Harley Davidsons. Will he branch out into the EV East?

tom0kiely I love the style of old vehicles, but I’ve really not got much love for old engines (other than having a slight soft spot for choppy, cammed big blocks) Yeah, it’s impressive what they could do at the time, but the time for inefficient unreliable old ice engines has passed. It’s crazy we’re still powering vehicles using thousands of contained explosions.

Watching this is like getting an inside peek at Johnny on Christmas morning. You can just feel how excited he was... he still tried to play it cool but the amount of awesome in that warehouse that is could not tap down his car geekness. Loved it. So glad companies like EV West are getting more exposure and doing such great preservation conversion work.

this EV West guy is a legend. where has he been all these years?!

Classic cars with electric engines is how I always imagined the future

This is one of the best videos of recent times. Michael is such a cool dude, and Jonny is great at interviewing as well. Some good tech info and lots of really important understanding of the motivation and methods behind all that madness. Thank you both for another awesome video.

Haha! Loved that photo of Ewan pushing his bug around the corner! I had to do that more than once to my 68 beetle back in the day.

Love this collaboration between fullycharged & ev west. EV West has long been a favorite of mine & having Johnny doing a proper interview is a joy to watch. Hope the two will have further interactions.

Love the way Jonny sneaked in "Too posh to push"! Hahaha! Another great film. Love you guys.

These guy's are way ahead of the game. So great to see. I love it. Thanks.

My bro and I we pushed his 1965 bug all over Adelaide, the 6v system was c@#p. Head lights you could blow out. A flawless electric motor, fill it up on solar and no understear, priceless.

Absolutely one of the best Fully Charged episodes ever! Depth of the knowledge at EV West is simply breathtaking. They simply love what they are doing 😀.

Fantastic episode, EVWest just keep blazing trails in the EV conversation world & Jonny is just a natural at what he does, looking forward to the next episode, guys 👍

Glad you covered EV West! They’ve been doing amazing work

That's awesome, I think that DeLorean should have been electric right from the beginning. I'm glad to see EV West taking it to the rightful production.

Love that the old classics will actually have a future in a BEV world to come. Great video!

Best fullycharged show ever!!! The paramotor idea is realy good!!!

I don’t remember watching this video before, but I must have since it shows that I hit the “LIKE” button. Now that I’m picking up my electrified ‘64 VW Beetle on Tuesday from Flash Drive Motors in Austin, Texas, I like the video even more!

Brilliant video! I love Jonny's genuine enthusiasm.

This is a million times better than anything on TV. I genuinely think retro fitting classic cars with electric power trains is going to be huge, I would make my 2006 Shogun electric tomorrow and bin the noisy diesel engine, not a second thought. How does this channel not have millions of subs, I don't understand!

Jonny presenting makes every video better.

When people are passionate about their craft, it is evident.

The joy from this occasion can be felt through the inter webs. Thanks for sharing. You guys rock!

What a heartwarming video. Such a sympathetic guy!

Those guys over at EV West are just PURE legends - and you can just feel how Michael loves what he does.

EV conversions will really be the Game Changer once they reach 'commoditisation' stage. Millions of old vehicles with decent bodies especially in Africa.

Our legislation (Norway) is very conservative and we are very underdeveloped when it comes to conversion of older cars, but I hope the government will come to realize that older cars also has value, as electric vehicles. Currently there is only one place in our country where you can go to get a conversion tested and approved, and if you don't live nearby you may have to spend a lot just to get the car transported to that location.

Sounds familiar...oh wait, I heard that back in the 70's quite a bit. Bottom line is you need to be dedicated to creating and maintaining an EV conversion. I think it will remain where it is forever. Especially wnowadays when you can go shopping for an electric vehicle from the big makers. EV conversions will rmeian a cottage industry...which is fine by me! Great video.

They are amazing guys at EV West...Always amazed at their knowledge (and Johnny’s knowledge too)

Wow. A man with passion about what he does, brilliant! Made better by including tyre smoke. I think the answer to making the Enfield faster has just been found!

Well done guys! One of your best shows ever! EV West is the real deal. First heard of them from Jehru Garcia. I'm pretty sure he built their powerwall

I'm not a person who "tinkers" with my cars but I acknowledge that a huge, massive number of guys love doing things to their pride and joy. It seemed that the EV industry would mean that a car was "soulless" but these guys and others like them, are proving there is room to tinker in a big way with conversions of the classic cars over to electric. Amazing. Personally I'd love the E type Jag that was converted to electric. Ha. A tad out of my price range though.

Maybe the greatest video ever on KZread. Excellent.

His enthusiasm is infectious. Love it, hope there's more people like him.

EV West have been getting some coverage lately. Only a few weeks back, Rich Benoit from Rich Rebuilds was there looking around and chatting. Good episode.

Followed EV west for so long. I wish they did their own videos more often. What a great bunch of people. Keep it up.

Installing a flux capacitor in that cherry DeLorean. Respect.

Electric historic cars. How great is this. Thanks for the awesome video. Love FC.

Excellent video, As someone who grew on combustion engines and I've been to several courses on auto mechaincs and was once a jet engine mechanic, the push-trend of EV's kind of gave me some anxiety, but you know what after seeing that the hot rodding and modifying of vehicles will always be around. These EV conversions are cool. I don't have that anxiety anymore. I've been following what the EV world has been doing for a few years and I see a lot potential . sticking a Tesla pack into a VW very similar to sticking a big V8 into a small car, strap in, shift and hold on. EV West I love what they are doing.

Thanks for an excellent video, Johnny. Glad that you finally managed to visit EV West, and are able to give us a pretty good insight into what they've been doing for the past few years. You should interview them again, perhaps in a couple of years, to see how they progress from here.

Love, love EV West! I am starting to think of cars I would love to see converted from my younger years. This video shows how it is all possible with these guys!

Im converting a 24 ft Chevy p30 stepvan to hybrid diesel solar electric drive locomotive style.LP and LNG converted.Always a pleasure watching the Masters of EV.🤯

Great Episode. Michael Bream obviously has knowledge, passion & (pardon the pun), drive on top of being a cool geeza on a skateboard. Looking forward to seeing you go through a set of his BMW tyres on the next episode.

EV West ROCKS! They should franchise their shop because I'm sure there would be huge demand worldwide.

EV WEST does some really cool stuff. Show us some more dudes like them☺👍

I can see the sense and the wisdom of taking lots of vehicles electric but my god why am I so addicted to KZread videos of old diesel engines starting up from cold!! Lol

Michael Bream is such an awesome dude! He was a huge help in selecting and sourcing my batteries, talking me through control issues, and just keeping me encouraged with advice. Definitely someone I would like to meet someday if I ever get out to CA again (or if he comes to MD).

So fun to see a fullychargedshow/EV West collaboration! Thank you!!!!

Loved it! More people have to see how EV West (and others) are preserving old cars because most avg people believe EVs are going to kill them.

This was a fantastic video! Wow so so so much passion, realistic passion...so inspiring, so practical?

This video makes me so happy. This is the future of old vehicles.

Wow, this is wonderful. Love how there is so much high tech under the surface, but the garage feels so traditional. Smart, conscientious, the best of the old and new. That VW pick-up - had a rubber toy version when I a child, but rust is a death sentence in Canada. I'd love to see something wide and low converted, or a low-rider that can be hiked up to do off-road. So many possibilities.

As a classic Mini owner it's great to see so many old cars being given a new least of life but with total respect for the original vehicle.

I believe fullycharged went there this year and jags kinda lives there he had done lots of stuff with EV west so it's kinda surprising fullycharged didn't do something with jags considering how much help and work a DIY guy has done to help so many people with his vlogs and videos and battery shipping and so on all to help DIYers. It kind would have made sense to do something with him, it would have been an acknowledgment of his work that he had done for us all.

Can't wait to show this to my mate who currently drives an E46, this would totally blow his mind!

I have to watch this again!!!

To quote our British friends from over the ocean, regarding this episode- brilliant! Loved your enthusiastic donut at the end of the video.

Possibly the best ever KZread fully charged episode. I’m a huge fan of EV west. Project forward 5-10 years & there’ll be a UK equivalent. As emissions laws tighten (like California) electrification will be the only way to keep some of these oldies on the road.

Jan 17th Vienna had an Auto show and had an electric VW super beetle convertible, it was .. let say a valiant effort was made. You all at the EV West are far more superior when doing conversions. Love the vids.

Fascinating video. Please think of doing more stuff like this with small entrepreneurs who are stretching the envelope showing us their dreams, aspirations and ambitions. Well done Fully Charged and Jonny Smith!

Love the idea of those BMW 2002s being fast and electric. My father had a 79 2002.I have some great memories in that.

You should franchise! Have facilities all across the country, where people can drive in, and have their cars converted to electric !

Nice job EV West! Like all genius ideas: Clear, smart, simple. It gives inspiration for all those baby boomers that will certainly be converting their classic cars to EVs. It is a nice future and a great plan for retirement. Rock on!
