EV conversion courses - Germany

As depicted by the team around Damien and Kevin last year (and this year?) EV conversion courses gained high attention.

Now, starting next year I will be able to drop my consulting business and devote my time fully (well not fully, you know like "working hours fully") to EV conversions and renewable energy. This is a big step for me and I want to thank anyone who got me this far by buying items from the openinverter shop and backing me on Patreon.

So, one of the things I want to devote more attention to is education.

Among other super secret projects I want to offer EV conversion courses in Germany:
  • What: mechanical, electrical, informational integration; auxiliary systems, legalities i.e. TÜV
  • Where: an open seminar space around Kassel, Germany with enough space to showcase components and cars
  • When: starting next year as soon as the pandemic situation allows it
  • Style: as little power pointy and as much hands-ony as possible :)
  • Length: presumably 4 days
  • Cost: 1000€ per person + food & lodging
The target audience is anyone interested in converting a car. If all participants speak German the course will be held in German, otherwise in English.
If you arrive in an EV I'll make sure you can charge it. If you arrive by public transport I can arrange pickup from "Kassel Wilhelmshöhe".

If this spawns interest I'll get cracking and fill in the event calendar.

Great news Johannes!

Although I will not be able to attend from here in Australia, I will continue to support you on Patreon- as should all model citizens of the Solar System!

Hmm, is the Bride likely to want to visit GR AND GB/IT???? Either way, seems like a better time than attending the 2021 F1 in Austin :D

So I'm anticipating the first run to be in May next year. Enough time for preparation, warm weather, hopefully relaxed Covid situation.

Hi Johannes.
Great news on this matter and best of luck, I'm sure it will all go well, and let face it, you have the 'Teacher' look.

Regards
Stephen
