EV Builder's Guide is a publication based solely on the lifestyle surrounding vehicles that have had a combustion engine removed and replaced with an electric motor. Our editorial team has been given the green light to scour the country in search of the highest quality hot rods that burn 0 miles per gallon. We also travelled across the country to experience the first-ever Holley High-Voltage EV fest in California. To add to our journalistic integrity. We have signed up to become official EV certified technicians through the national EV certification network that Legacy EV has established. With this training, our team will have the core knowledge it takes to explain the engineering and document our discoveries. These are exciting times and we’re proud to be at the forefront of electric vehicle journalism. ---------------------------------------------- This is a free app download.
