This team seeks funding to design and build a battery powered concept car to participate in the annual Shell Eco-marathon. In doing so we hope to promote the use of sustainable energy in the automotive field and educate our students and community about the technology behind electric vehicles. Our team will educate its members to design and manufacture an energy efficient electric vehicle and the ecological advantages it can offer.

EV Concept will use the proposed car to teach students about the capabilities and ecological advantages of electric vehicles. Funds would be used to purchase carbon fiber fabric, various epoxy and resin systems, carbon fiber manufacturing materials, lithium batteries, electronic equipment, and building materials and tools. This project is scheduled for a 1-year timeline and we have already begun the preliminary operations in order to complete the vehicle in time for the Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2019 competition which begins on April 3rd, 2019. This team hopes to advance to the Drivers World Championship event by demonstrating great efficiency. To accomplish such efficiency, this team must use low weight/high strength materials such as carbon fiber composites.
