Electrifying Change: Fuel2Electric’s Mission to Educate and Transform through EV Conversion

EVBG STAFF August 08, 2023 All EV Vehicles

The Trailblazing Multivendor Platform Has Set Its Sights on Enlightening the Masses About the Wonders of EV Conversion

Welcome to the electrifying world of Fuel2Electric, where the company is not just building the most extensive independent network of EV conversion professionals, but it is doing it with flair! As the first multivendor platform dedicated to EV conversion, the team is here to educate and communicate about the retrofit concept and its numerous advantages.

Gone are the days when EV conversions were limited to our arguably nerdy community. The F2E trio, comprised of John Wilson and brothers Arno and Laurent Frugier, is on a mission to enlighten the masses about the wonders of converting older vehicles to electric power. Who knew that ditching those pesky ICEs for sleek, electrified systems could save you from constant maintenance headaches and give you an awesome perm-a-smile? Well, they did, and they’re here to spread the word!

Picture this: Someone buys a shiny new OEM EV like a Tesla, Volt, or Leaf, thinking they’ve reached peak innovation. Little do they know that the rabbit hole of EV conversion madness awaits them. The F2E clients often stumble upon the world of EV conversions, initially dismissing it as a wild and crazy concept. But lo and behold, once they realize the abundance of technology and expertise available, they can’t resist diving in headfirst—we’ve all been there!

With the demand for sustainable transportation options skyrocketing and EV technology advancing at warp speed, the F2E community is poised for explosive growth. Just take a look at the jaw-dropping numbers—according to Precedence Research, the global automotive retrofit electric vehicle powertrain market was estimated at $61 billion in 2021, and it is expected to hit a staggering $118 billion by 2030. And they’re right at the heart of this electrifying revolution!

After a year of evaluating countless EV conversion projects, F2E discovered that its customer base is driven by a multitude of factors. From customization and performance to environmental concerns and potential cost savings, its clients are a diverse bunch with a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of technological advancements.

But Wait! There’s More!

Now, onto F2E’s second objective—forging an extensive network of EV conversion professionals across the United States and Canada. While having over 50 independent builders and vendors on its platform is no small feat, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s on a relentless quest to unearth new shops and parts vendors, ensuring that no corner of the ever-growing North American marketplace is left untouched.

To all the hardworking shops and builders out there, listen up! F2E exists to make your lives easier. It understands that day-to-day operations can be a whirlwind, devouring your precious time. That’s why it’s here to lend a helping hand. With its ready-to-convert opportunities and time-saving tools at your fingertips, you’ll have more freedom to do what you love most—creating automotive magic.

Community members not only increase their visibility and credibility within the industry, but they also receive a VIP invitation to request a vendor account on F2E. And here’s the cherry on top—the company’s service requires no subscription fee, and it’ll go above and beyond to promote your business by driving projects straight to your doorstep.

Attention all aspiring EV conversion business owners! It’s got you covered, too. From training sessions and certification programs to top-notch EV conversion kits, it’s got all the ingredients for your recipe for success. And of course, it’ll help you find those elusive customers to showcase your skills to the world.

Owners’ Support, Too

F2E’s third and most valuable objective is to provide free, top-notch services for project owners. It prioritizes the customer experience and has built a platform that makes it easy to submit vehicles, present them to professionals, order parts, receive proposals, and track the build’s progress, all within its user-friendly website. By leveraging technology, F2E has disrupted the traditional “ask for a quote” process, offering a time-saving and hassle-free alternative. The seamless user experience it provides has garnered high appreciation from users, leading to trust-building and a loyal user base.

This unique multivendor platform, combined with its proposal submission capability, creates opportunities for everyone in the industry to thrive and succeed.

F2E continues to improve its services and tools, constantly innovating and expanding its offerings. It has partnered with training professionals and is in the process of developing the first-ever EV conversion learning explorer on its platform. From virtual sessions on safety to full hands-on conversion sessions, it is dedicated to enhancing the learning experience.

Its main drive is to simplify the EV conversion process. It examines projects, matches them with professionals, and offers parts and services, all with the goal of making the entire process easier for everyone involved. Understanding expectations and constraints is crucial when designing a project, which is why F2E dedicates an extensive amount of time to comprehend the projects and its goals. Whether it’s a daily driver or a vehicle for racing or autocross, the diversity of projects it receives reflects the diversity of builders listed on its platform.

While customers may initially expect just pricing when they submit their vehicles or fleets on F2E, they soon realize that they get more than just numbers. The F2E team keeps an open mind and considers all possible solutions. This approach leads to more creative and innovative ideas that might have otherwise been overlooked. F2E ensures that all builders are represented equally, avoiding biases and preconceived notions that could influence the design process. This results in a more objective and unbiased approach to customer satisfaction.

Rather than being guided solely by technical beliefs or opinions, F2E focuses on the challenge at hand. It embraces projects with low odds, such as a 2007 Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet, which created unprecedented interest in the community, exceeding expectations.

Its agnostic approach benefits both project owners and builders. It fosters a collaborative environment where everyone’s ideas are valued and considered, leading to better communication and overall project outcomes.
