Established seventeen years ago, the Electric Vehicle (EV) Challenge is an educational program where high school students:

Build real, full-size plug-in electric vehicles.
Participate in a yearlong educational program and competition.
Learn numerous skills including: applied engineering and environmental science, electrical troubleshooting, public speaking, and community service.
 

The program is often a life-changer for students and has a significant positive impact on their experience of science and engineering.

The program is currently serving high schools in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, West Virginia, and Iowa and would like to grow to include a national reach.  This would not be possible without the generosity of The EV Challenge Sponsors:
