Finalised the charging port on the car. Mo' wires mo' progress... right? #diyev#electricrx8#electriccar#openinverter @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/DZaUxvLnXu
Thanks to @clipper_automotive for having me over and showing me around. So nice to drive! All london cabs should be converted! #electriccar#evconversion#electrictaxi @ London, United Kingdom https://t.co/llKMmn9c97
Inverter, charger and junction box all mounted. Next job is connecting it all up ⚡ #electricrx8#openinverter#diyelectriccar @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/8rtv8GqNDF
12v battery installed and loads of progress on battery wiring this weekend. Feels great to make some progress! #electricrx8#electriccar#diyelectriccar @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/52fQkEYXbA
Making a battery box with aluminium and rivets. My kingdom for a sheet metal bender (and welding skills)! #electricrx8#electriccar#evconversion @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/Akz5qQU9id
Battery box lid now stays in place! And protected from the elements (and rattling) with some weather stripping. Small progress, but pleases. Riveting is very satisfying. #electricrx8#diyelectriccar#electriccar https://t.co/2pIsCEL5RS
Redesigning my front battery layout om the #electricrx8. Pretty happy with my battery box! #electriccar#diyelectriccar @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/VaaYwgBlmT
Fixing the hack job the previous owner did to the #mini subframe. Ok it's not exactly factory but I'm happy with how it turned out! #evconversion#electricmini @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/ignRws3eZ9
Shame on you @IrishTimes for such a lazy, inaccurate piece of journalism, using an "industry figure" who is also the representative of a large car company. Embarrassing.

Rx8 cooling system plumbed and working. hopefully it will be enough. I suspect not. Still, love the transformer look without the front bumper! #electricrx8#diyelectriccar#openinverter @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/k8wKDGg9yU
New battery for the #electricmini from a mitsubishi outlander. This will give it about 10 times more range than it had! #diyelectriccar#electriccar#openinverter @ Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom https://t.co/JrCKXLwyoA
Nice piece about converting classic cars to EV on @BBCNews today. But why just classics? Because there is a huge disincentive for converting modern ('01-'17) cars, as @DVLAgovuk won't allow them to be re-registered as electric. https://t.co/UR1ijwGfTd.
Slowly but surely, the #rx8#electriccar is coming together. Almost finished tidying up the wiring, then it'll be time for first drive with #openinverter power! So close! https://t.co/Iu9MDumCwc
Very proud to have been invited by @figaroowners to debut the Fig-Leaf at the 30th Figaro Anniversary Event. Thank you to everyone involved, it was a great experience and a real joy to meet so many enthusiastic Figaro owners and their beautiful cars. #opensource#ElectricVehicles
The #rx8 is looking a bit high at the front... nothing a few batteries won't fix. BMS wiring and high voltage coming along nicely! #openinverter#electriccar#evconversion
