The EV Conversion Cooperative

Nobody should have to figure out an electric conversion alone.

A cooperative of builders plus an AI coach grounded in thousands of documented conversions. Plan your build, choose components, and share tools, resources, and hard-won lessons — whether it’s a car, truck, motorcycle, boat, or something else.

Projects fail in isolation. They succeed in community.

During the pandemic, I bought a barnfind 1971 BMW 2002. After I pulled the engine, the electric conversion idea stuck. When I went looking for help, I found what every builder finds: hundreds of forum threads, thousands of scattered YouTube videos, and no single place that put the whole picture together.

electr0motiv exists so the next person doesn’t have to go looking alone.
