Inspection

We assess the vehicle’s structural integrity and service all relevant components to ensure it’s ready for electric power.

Preparation

The combustion system is removed, repairs are made, and the chassis is prepped. Meanwhile, the new electric drivetrain is assembled and tested.

Installation

Motor, batteries, and control systems are fitted and wired in. Safety checks are completed before powering up.

Testing & Handover

The vehicle and battery undergoes rigorous testing, DVLA re-registration, and MOT certification — then it’s handed over to its owner. For more information regarding this – read the Behind the Workshop Doors article
