From Transport Evolved.
Back in 2021, Kate started work on a properly DIY conversion of her 1969 Morris Minor 1000 to an EV. In the past 4 episodes she talked through the build plan, and the build up of the OpenInverter board from parts, and its installation in a Toyota hybrid inverter.
But then things went quiet.
Today, Kate finally talks about why, and what the future is for this project.
If you want to just find out what the next steps are, then skip to 22:34.
