August 18, 2025

Switch Vehicles is teaming with Fuel2Electric to let everyday builders turn their cars electric with pro-level training.
Over 45 hours of online, hands-on, and follow-up support are packed into the Make Mine Electric course.
Participants walk away with ASE xEV Level 1 Safety Certification prep plus insider access to expert consultation.

That moment when you find out you could change your classic ride into a silent, electric cruiser, and suddenly you’re wide‑eyed, thinking “wait, really?” You’re not dreaming. Fuel2Electric and Switch Vehicles have teamed up on August 18, 2025 in Sebastopol, California, to launch a hands‑on EV conversion training program that actually equips you with the smarts, and the confidence, to go electric.

So say you’ve always loved that vintage coupe in your garage, but the gas engine? No thanks. Now imagine getting 20-plus hours of online lessons, a physics‑friendly Electric Vehicle Systems textbook, plus practical exercises with a lab kit that actually plugs into real hardware. That’s the first act of the “Make Mine Electric” training.

Then you spend another 25 hours working in an EV manufacturing facility, side by side with pro instructors. You’ll walk through drivetrain wiring, chassis prep, battery systems, high‑voltage safety, all without guesswork. (And yes, you learn what an inverter does in plain English, so no more nodding along cluelessly.)

You also score prep materials and the exam code for ASE xEV Level 1 Safety Certification, plus five hours of follow‑up tech help for design, fabrication, and troubleshooting.

“Our partnership with Fuel2Electric allows us to stay focused on what defines Switch—transformative EV education and people first product design”, said Switch Vehicles program manager Jonothan Reyenoso. “While F2E extends our EV solutions directly to builders, educators, and enthusiasts around the globe, bringing electric mobility to life.”

“We’ve been following Switch Vehicles since we launched Fuel2Electric in 2021, and are especially excited about their new Make Mine Electric program. It’s a perfect fit for our mission, and we’re proud to offer it to our DIY customers and professional partners who are preparing for their ASE xEV certification.” Laurent Frugier, CEO, Fuel2Electric.

Those exact quotes stand for something. They’ve done their homework, and now they want you to have a solid, safe, and certified path into EV conversion.
