![Its Back...Its Electric! ZAPHEAP Challenge Needs YOU!
Two teams, two batteries, and a junkyard: what could possibly go wrong?
We are thrilled to introduce you to Zapheap - a truly electrifying and potentially terrifying pilot episode produced by the Fully Charged Show Team.
For years, we’ve dreamed of bringing Zapheap to life on the Fully Charged channel. Countless hours have been spent sipping tea, munching biscuits, and pondering the endless “what ifs.” But now, we’re ready to go battery electric!
The Pilot Episode will feature:
⚡Two top-secret workshops fully equipped and ready for action
⚡Two brilliant and very impressive vehicle and battery experts waiting in the wings
⚡And, of course, 10 stylish boiler suits waiting for our fearless, junk-hungry, mildly eccentric volunteer teams to roll up their sleeves and get welding.
To bring this to life we need YOU. Over the next 30 days we will be running a kickstarter campaign with a variety of tasty offers to say thank you for using your hard earned cash to help make this dream a reality!
You can find all the details here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zapheap/zapheap
Thank you for joining us on this slightly bonkers journey! ⚡
