High Voltage Hustle

Obviously this is the Mickey Mouse version of my mock up without measurements and terrible perspective but you get the idea! Orange trusses = 2 inches. First big welding project, send luck (and tips)!

A lot of the best tradespeople I’ve met learned their craft through their service. The discipline, the tech, the field fixes under pressure, that’s the kind of skill that keeps America running. In the shop, on the road, and in the future we’re building together, thank you and Happy Veterans Day.

Mexico’s EV manufacturing boom is real.
Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nuevo León is just the start!  BYD, Kia, and BMW are expanding south of the border too. North American supply chains are changing fast.

There’s a quiet pride in knowing your skills outlast trends.
Metal, wire, torque, they don’t care about the stock market.
Tradespeople are recession-proof by design.

“Work with your hands” used to mean blue collar.
Now it means future-proof.
The clean energy transition runs on skilled labor, not AI, not VCs.

Some people enter the EV world through engineering degrees.
Others through maker spaces, YouTube tutorials, or changing tires.
Every path is valid. Every spark counts. Find your's!

Every time the economy stumbles, the trades tighten their gloves and go back to work.
Because someone still has to keep the lights on, the wheels turning, and the batteries charged. AI can't run conduit.

Every time I drop a video about EVs, I hope the words “I can do that” become real to someone. 
That’s what my High Voltage Hustle is all about.
Watch the latest episode on YouTube and see what’s possible. Trades thrive in hard times.

Some people enter the EV world through engineering degrees.
Others through maker spaces, YouTube tutorials, or changing tires.
Every path is valid. Every spark counts.

In 2010, there were almost no women on EV design teams.
In 2025, women lead EV programs at Ford, GM, Rivian, and Lucid.
Representation is no longer a trend, it’s a standard.

Canada’s EV adoption is climbing fast! Quebec alone accounts for nearly half of all new EV registrations.
Policy matters. Infrastructure matters. The question is: who’s next?

The average American drives 37 miles per day.
Even the shortest-range modern EV can handle that three times over on a single charge.
Range anxiety is just bad press.

When the markets swing and headlines scream, trades stay steady. AI can write code, but it can’t run conduit or torque a flange. Stocks rise and fall on hype, but hands-on skills build real value. You can’t crash what’s built with skill, sweat, and pride. #TradesMatter #EVRevolution

EV High Voltage Battery Technician… in high heels? Be serious.

This work is torque wrenches, gloves, and insulated tools not stilettos. Love seeing women represented in EVs, but let’s make it real.

Representation matters. Authenticity matters more.

🚗⚡ Datsun 620 EV Swap Build | Nissan Leaf Electric Conversion on a BudgetEver wanted to convert a gas vehicle to electric but thought it was too expensive? ... Ep. 1 The Gang Goes Electric

⚡Episode 1 of my new YouTube series premieres this Thursday at 5 PM PST!

I’m kicking things off with a project overview of my EV-swapped 1979 Datsun 620. Keeping it Nissan and showing how to make the swap on a budget.

Join me live in the Premiere chat here:

A cockroach really climbed up my leg at the shop… I’ve never been so grossed out in my life. Why do they always come for me?!

Q: What should I look for in a used EV?
A: Check battery health, range, charging history, and above all service records. Look for remaining warranty and charger compatibility. Find the serial # on the battery and make sure it isn't refurbished.

Q: What’s the difference between horsepower and kilowatts?
A: Both measure power. 1 kilowatt = 1.34 horsepower. kW is used for EVs and electric systems, while horsepower is common for gas engines. They're just different units for how much work or energy an engine or motor can produce.

Is battery tech going to change? Absolutely. Think back to when the Energizer Bunny switched to rechargeable, big things were coming.  Expect major leaps as diverse use cases drive fierce competition. Besides, liquid fuel is too heavy to take to Mars.

From the icy coast of Lake Erie to the mountain tops of Arizona. I love this land, and I love our Constitution. Real patriotism means fighting for freedom, for the American Dream, for everyone. Stay weird. Speak up. This land is yours and mine. Keep showing up. I see you.

I’m literally thinking about a speech for my best friend’s wedding and can’t stop thinking about Nathan for you. Maybe I should rehearse? 😅

Invest in a CAT III at 1000V multimeter if you’re working with EVs & CAT IV if you are going to service charging stations. Remember, electricity will kill you, kids! The higher the CAT, the higher amount of spike current you are protected from.

First AI attempt at generating my logo and… it gave me Husticles instead of Hustle!!! Bahaha! Safe to say the robots aren’t ready for branding just yet. 😂

EVs don’t need oil changes—but you do need to know how to keep yourself electrically safe.
The aftermarket’s evolving—are you keeping up?

Buying an EV is cool.
Building one from scratch? Iconic.
Less lead, more lithium, baby!

Not all heroes wear capes—some just swap out fuel tanks for lithium packs.
The EV aftermarket isn’t just booming—it’s buzzing... from electricity! :P

Thinking about converting your gas guzzler into an EV? ⚡
The EV aftermarket is WIDE open—motors, inverters, BMS, regen brakes, and more.
Who else is piecing together their dream electric drivetrain?

From silent torque to zero tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles are changing how we move, wrench, and think about energy.

Are you team battery-powered yet, or still riding the gas wave?

Someone said I look like Gadget Hackwrench from Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers & honestly? ICONIC.  
Shoutout to Seth for unlocking a core memory. Gadget was smart, fearless, and built everything in a purple jumpsuit. #Goals
