Hi From Newcastle.

I'm Fairly new to the EV scene and already hooked. Im looking to get in contact with some locals that can steer me in the right direction about a DIY backyard conversion of something really small and hatchback.

A bit about me. I'm an electrical engineer with a trade background. I'm into modifying cars, RC cars and 3D printers.

Hope someone sees this and can put me in touch with some knowledgeable locals.

Thanks Colydog

If you haven't already, visit Jon at Catavolt, Jaron at Batrium and Brett from Elmofo - all within a stone's throw of each other in the Hillsborough / Warners Bay area.

Yep - there is a Newcastle charter of AEVA that was meeting at Catavolt, I've been a bit busy lately with life in general to go...

I'm of a similar background, have 2 Vectrix, and am into CNC laser cutting.

Bought - its a 40W CO2 with a 300 X 200 bed (roughly A4) that's brilliant for cutting perspex and plywood (and engraving glass/anodized aluminium).
