​​Illini Formula Electric (IFE) is a student organization from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that participates in the Formula Electric competition, both hosted and sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The goal of the competition is to design, fabricate, and race an all-electric race car marketed towards the weekend autocross racer. The goal for our team is to train our members in the use of innovative technology and in the process win the competition.​ 

​This team makes a fully electric race car, which produces zero carbon emissions, but runs as fast as average gasoline race cars. As a green energy and transportation project, this team is not only training it's team members, but also spreading the sustainability concept to more students from all majors, local community members, and also people around the world, from the project showcase events and social media. Much of automotive innovation is driven from racing, training team members will help them innovate and develop new efficient concepts after graduation.
