Sebastopol, CA – Switch Vehicles, Inc., a leader in electric vehicle (EV) educational solutions, and Fuel2Electric, a premier EV builders marketplace, are proud to announce their strategic collaboration to expand Make Mine Electric conversion training to this growing community of builders.
This collaboration reflects Switch Vehicles & Fuel2Electric’s commitment to empowering their users with the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to turn their electric dreams into reality.
By providing their customers with professional training, they’re helping them begin their EV conversion journey on the right foot—with confidence, safety, and a deeper understanding of the systems involved.
This partnership is a major step forward in making EV conversions more accessible and achievable for everyone.
The program includes 20+ hours of at-home learning through online courses, an Electric Vehicle Systems textbook, and practical exercises using the Switch Relay Lab Kit. Participants then gain 25+ hours of guided, hands-on conversion experience in a real EV manufacturing facility, working alongside qualified instructors. Training materials & exam code for the ASE xEV Level 1 Safety Certification are included, and 5 hours of post-workshop technical consultation ensure ongoing support with design, fabrication, and troubleshooting. This is a unique opportunity to gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed with your EV conversion project.
"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 will earn their ASE xEV certification upon completion” Laurent Frugier, CEO, Fuel2Electric
