At Illini EV Concept, we are developing EV3, our latest electric vehicle, emphasizing autonomous integration and enhanced aerodynamic design. Unlike our current model, EV3 will incorporate advanced technologies such as Lidar and relevant sensors for autonomy, while also featuring a regenerative braking system to recover energy during braking. We aim to build our own battery system, enriching our team's knowledge in energy storage and design. This project not only promotes innovation and sustainability but also provides valuable, hands-on experience for our members in hardware creation and automotive engineering.
