EV Builder's Guide Magazine - Fall 2025

In this issue

The newest issue of EV Builders Guide delivers another bold look at the evolving world of electrified rides. This time, we spotlight a mix of classic restorations, concept conversions, and next-level Tesla mods. Inside, you’ll find the “Green Flash” reimagined—a 1936 Auburn Cord 810 Phaeton turned electric—and the Polo eDrive Concept, blending Porsche soul with smart car innovation. We also dive into Revival Autos’ classic Austin Healey 3000 and the BEE GT, an electric MGB that somehow still shifts with a manual. Get the full story behind outlaw EVs like a Model 3 that keeps getting banned from race events, and Griff’s widebody Model Y build that proves going electric doesn’t mean losing your edge. Other standout builds include a 1972 Dino EV nicknamed “Moncada,” the KITT-inspired Knight Recharged, and a VW Type 2 from Classic EV buzzing through Denver streets. In tech, we break down essential EV battery safety features and explain what you really need to know about DC fast charging standards like CCS and NACS. Plus, we go behind the scenes at Accelerate 2025, where educators are helping shape the future of automotive electrification. From wild concepts to thoughtful conversions, this issue of EV Builders Guide showcases just how deep and diverse the EV scene has become.
