Electric Conversion Services
Established in 2019 Somerset EV was created to explore the possibilities of EV conversions with a focus on the agricultural world. Now with 6 years experience and multiple real world examples we are able to offer conversion kits on demand. We are also able to assist with conversions, repairs and upgrades to electric drive trains and batteries on all vehicles.
Please get in contact if you have a project in mind and we can discuss your requirements.
Many small farm machines are ideal for electric conversion, especially those with low power requirements and low daily useage.
Projects already completed include quad bikes, sawdust spreaders and a less agricultural MG F.
The main focus is now on tractor conversions, with an example model being a converted Leyland 255. This has exceeded expectations in what it is capable of in the field and we firmly believe there is a space in the agricultural industry now for electric drive trains.
With years of conversion experience not just in agriculture, Somerset EV can offer consultancy and advice for potential projects or ideas, or carry out as much of the conversion work as needed.
We are also able to replace or upgrade batteries on previously converted or originally electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes.
With years of experience in the industry we firmly believe some of the best solutions available are from the open source community.
Somerset EV is an active contributor in terms of development and testing for projects such as Open Inverter and the Zombiverter project.

We also open source what we can from our own projects. To help push development forward through cooperation and information sharing.
The use of second hand equipment is a key method in keeping costs down but reliability high. Electric motors from EVs are the end result of millions of pounds of R&D and hundreds of thousands of examples being used daily
