Electrification Project

More than 2 years ago we decided to build a new garage to house the vehicles undercover in the winter, once we had the garage funding we decided to move into electric vehicles and to compliment our wind turbine we decided a good move would be to add solar panels to the new garage and install electricity storage inside the new garage.

With the support of our funders, shown below, we are turning an idea into reality!

Below you'll find some info on the progress so far but later in the project you'll get info on the results of the project including details of power produced, stored, power shifting, vehicle efficiency and financials.
