About Me
Shawn McCoy
EVInnovate Founder
I started EV Innovate to help others with their electric vehicles, from buying a new electric car or a do-it-yourself conversion from gasoline to electric. This was expanded to include renewable energy as well since having your own supply of electricity ensures a low carbon footprint and is within your control. Most resources online are not kept up to date and some abandoned, which is not ideal for a growing technology and revolution. This is the reason that EV Innovate was born.
