EV Conversion Safety Video Part 1 Electric vehicle safety with Ralph Hosier. EV Dangers. Chargeheads

This is part 1 of 2 on EV conversion safety. With the popularisation of EV conversions I was worried, along with other people in the industry, that there may be EV conversion enthusiasts that decide to build there own EV conversion and do not realise the potential dangers that they are exposing themselves to. With the help of Ralph Hosier Engineering we have made a video to highlight the dangers and the tools needed for doing a conversion. I MUST REITERATE IF YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERT IN ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND EV TECHNOLOGY PLEASE DO NOT DO AN EV CONVERSION YOURSELF. There are a whole host of EV conversion companies in the UK, so if you do not have the skills like me please go to my website and seek assistance from one of the professional converters out there https://www.chargeheads.co.uk/forum/c...
As Ralph rightly said, if you cannot afford to convert your car to electric and don't have the knowledge, DO NOT START AN EV CONVERSION.

I have started a conversion on a TVR Wedge AKA the Wedgee although there are some parts of the build I am taking on when it comes to the EV conversion I am leaving it to the professionals and will be partnering with an EV conversion company to help. Stay Safe!

At the start of 2021 I created Chargeheads to ELECTRIFY petrolheads essentially get more car enthusiasts into electric cars. An Electric Petrolhead if you like....A CHARGEHEAD!!!!

To start I decided to do an EV conversion and went on an amazing journey visiting many of the big companies in this field.
I selected the not so well known TVR Tasmin, AKA the Wedge (#TVRWedgee) to electrify after careful consideration of other cars. As I already had a TVR Griffith which I enjoyed driving and with my passion for raw, powerful, tail happy cars with no driver aids TVR was the obvious choice when selecting a car to electrify.

The 2nd build I started was the #SpecialTrikee project a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter that I am turning into a e-Trike I can use locally and ride around at shows. Mrs Chargehead calls it my special scooter.....that originally had a 50cc two stroke motor and has a "mis sold 250 watt motor" in it. This project wouldn't have got off the ground if it weren't for my mate Vinny, who also did my Integra DC2 turbo build in the naughties! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3wPD...

The Latest project is Rustee #RusteeTesla the Tesla build to make a Model 3 Long Range....well.....better! This build is on a budget and in keeping with the Chargeheads green credentials I am using used parts where possible to modify.

I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.

Also Dr Nick Mason from ECO Classics and other EV specialists who are leading the field in electric transport.

So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well    • EV Conversion Safety Video Part 1 Ele...
