STATE OF CHARGE 2025

Raising the Bar for EV Conversions

- TIM CACHELIN

THE State of Charge conference returned to Denver for its fourth year this August, filling the CSU Spur Hydro building with two days of workshops, presentations, and hallway conversations that pushed the EV conversion community forward. Organized by Terry Breheny, founder of Ohm on the Range, the event once again drew builders, educators, and suppliers from across the globe. It felt less like a trade show and more like a reunion of hands-on innovators who are shaping the aftermarket together.

RICHARD "Moggy" Morgan of Electric Classic Cars delivers the keynote, sharing his path from hobbyist to world-renowned shop owner.

The atmosphere was as important as the content. Between technical sessions, builders gathered for coffee in the morning, swapped stories during breaks, and closed Friday evening with a lively happy hour.

RON Grosinger walks through the build of his converted Daihatsu Hijet Kei truck, designed for hands-on EV training.

These informal moments gave attendees the chance to trade practical advice, share mistakes, and make connections that will carry through to the next project.
