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.

Clusters

Density turns members into a workshop.

Where enough builders live close together, they organize. No cluster near you yet? Tell us where you are and we count you toward the next one.

Tell us where you are.

No cluster near you yet just means no one's organized it. Leave your email and we'll count you toward the next one to form.

This form writes straight into our own records on electr0motiv.com, not a third-party mailing list.

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.
