We’ve decided to split out updates in two. If you want to see updates on our conversions they will be now be separate so please subscribe to be notified when they go live.

So what’s been through our Electric Vehicle workshop lately?

We start with a contradiction – a petrol Morris Minor. We don’t usually work on none electric cars but after converting 4 minors to electric we have built up a vast knowledge of them. We got asked to firt a reconditioned gearbox to this traveller and to check it over. We fond a few areas that needed immediate attention and sorted them. You never know one day it may be electric!

• Have a look at the Jaguar S Type conversions progress, 
• Tell you about the faulty Outlander we’ve been working on.  
• Explain the challenges we have had with very unusual damage on a Leaf

Ever wanted to know what we actually do here at Kinghorn Electric Vehicles? Well now you can!

From Classic car electric conversions to Electric vehicle servicing, repair and sales, we have plenty going on.

We will be releasing regular (see how I avoided committing to how regular there 😉 update videos about what we have been working on.

In this video I tell you about how the company started then tell you about what happened in the workshop in August 2024.

To keep up to date make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel 🙂

From April 28th to May 1st we were at Fully Charged Live UK in Farnborough. We met loads and loads of you, it was great, thanks for coming to say hello.

For those you that didn’t make it we have made a video so you can see what it was all about.

We have just received 2 Nissan eNV200 electric vans and they are both fantastic.

They both have a host of extras fitted above the already great standard specification including a diesel Sebastopol heater which increase range dramatically in cold weather.

Both are great vans for businesses that can operate with their approx 80mile range but would also make a great base for a camper van conversion.

Yesterday I had a conversation with a customer who bought a leaf from us and it made me realise how much of a Nissan Leaf specialist we really are. They told me they both the car from us because –

2. We were passionate and deeply knowledgeable about not only the car but the whole ownership process.
3. They had been told by other customers that we don’t just sell the car then forget about the customer. As its usually a new experience for our customers we make sure we are there 24/7. Each customer gets George’s direct mobile number to call anytime they may need help or advice.
