In this episode of DIY EV Chat I speak to Fiachra Cooke about his Nissan Leaf-powered Audi 8e. Fiachra has a history of VW and Audi-based projects, and when he stumbled across Damien Maguire's videos he immediately knew he wanted to make an electric Avant (estate). Find out how he did it, and what he's working on now as his whole career has changed to focus on EV conversions.

You can find Fiachra online on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/Scampi6000) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/fiachracooke). And check out his new employer AVA, making some absolutely gorgeous electrified classics: https://www.studioava.com/.

Check out some of the newspaper articles on Fiachra's car too:
