Foxev
Project Overview
The project involves creating a knowledge base and YouTube series about custom electric vehicle (EV) conversions, focusing on sharing technical insights about EV drivetrains and battery systems. The creator offers free educational content and paid support at $200 per consultation, with the goal of helping enthusiasts repurpose EV components from vehicles like Toyota Prius or Tesla Model S.
Community Feedback and Suggestions
Community members provided constructive advice for scaling the project:
- Recommended creating more practical, how-to video content
- Suggested developing detailed tutorials on sourcing motors, batteries, and converters
- Proposed creating a paid course or private content area with in-depth conversion guidance
Technical and Legal Considerations
Discussion highlighted important points about EV conversions:
- Safety and legal compliance depend on local jurisdiction
- Conversions typically involve older vehicles that already don’t meet modern safety standards
- The project focuses on technical support for drivetrain implementation, not comprehensive vehicle safety auditing
Business Model Insights
The creator is seeking to transform the current sporadic consultation model into a more predictable revenue stream. Potential strategies include:
- Developing comprehensive paid educational content
- Collaborating with local automotive content creators
- Expanding video production to demonstrate practical conversion expertise
