[Turn E](https://turn-e.de/) conversions has the most amazing photos to help describe
the manufacturing process. I’ve never seen such art in my life. It’s beautiful.

To be fully honest, part of my definite moves to make this next edition of the book
[Build Your Own Electric Vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/01/building-your-own-electric-vehicle/)
was to tell an extra 1-2,000 words per page of a photo. So I really recommend checking
out Turn E conversions website.

# Why? It’s simple actually.

Some of the pages had comments from Bob Brandt that made total sense. Why change
it? Really? No! Add a photo to clearly describe the words and make that interconnection
of a photo with explaining text to back it up.  It’s unreal what this third edition
is going to do. For it’s totally intended to make it easier for people to learn 
to build their own electric vehicles. That’s either for me with a car company or
someone ensuring to convert their car to electric.

So the Turn E conversions photo below clearly helps explain things in the book like
you wouldn’t know.  A battery cage of cells to be packed and inevitably strung together
with battery management sensors.

## **TURN-E**lectric – just do it!

**TURN-E** is the abbreviation of **TURN-E**LECTRIC, which is the baseline and spirit
of the company. Recycle-Reuse. Because that‘s the 21st century. Vintage cars and
boats meet modern drive technology. Circular economy is following nature‘s design.
Nature is forever. As for the electric drive – you have to feel it to believe it.
Experience raw power, acceleration, wind, waves, the street…

With a broad smile on your face, you’ll ask yourself, now why didn‘t I **TURN-E**
lectric sooner!
