About

I’m an electrical engineering student, and I spend most of my week wiring things that absolutely cannot fail: I’m the electrical systems lead on a formula-style student race car. Wiring harnesses, CAN bus networks, battery systems, sensor calibration — that’s my daily work, and it’s also why I started this blog.

CarVoltLab covers three things.

Car gear reviews — dash cams, OBD2 scanners, jump starters, chargers and tools. I evaluate them the way an engineer would: measured specs over marketing claims.

DIY & maintenance — practical fixes and diagnostics you can do at home, in the order that costs you the least money.

How cars work — the technology inside modern cars, explained simply. Transmissions, CAN bus, regenerative braking, and why certain engines earn their reputation.

I don’t review cars I haven’t driven, and I don’t recommend products I wouldn’t put in my own tool bag. When something is outside my hands-on experience, I say so.
