The batteries look very tidy in the boot :) Looking forward to seeing more and hearing how you get on with it

Just forwarded your pictures to a a friend of mine who's a Mini nut. I'm sure your EV conversion will put his petrol burner to shame ;) He took part in a dyno day out for Mini World and was told that his car was pumping out a massive 34bhp :lol:

Nice conversion.
