How we got here

19 years ago I was only interested in electrifying the stuff in my garage. I wasn’t trying to save the planet; I was trying to build simple, cheap vehicles that were a hoot to ride. Now I’m into electrifying my house, my city, and my power grid. The more I explore this complicated topic, the more I believe in the elegance of this simple mantra:

Electrify. Giggle. Repeat.

From my garage, to your home, to the power grid we all rely on but often ignore, our world’s been running on gas for more than a century. There’s a good reason for that — gas is damn good at storing energy. Like 100 times better than most batteries. Until now. It’s been good enough to compensate for burning it in our cars, factories and buildings. Until now.

It doesn’t make sense to electrify every gas-powered machine yet, but the math on going electric is getting better for more people every day.

I’ve helped hundreds of people go electric — we pick the right machine at the right time. And we do the right amount of homework. Every time someone makes that switch, it makes me smile.

Sometimes it makes me giggle.

I’m not here to preach; I’m here to help you understand how going electric works and how you can do it, in three simple steps:

  1. Electrify.
  2. Giggle.
  3. Repeat.

This is the way. Let’s go.
