A small and lightweight EV, optimized for maximum energy efficiency
Find Out MoreOur project is rebuilding the electrical system of a vehicle that races in the Tampa Bay Electrathon series. The endurance-style races are 1 hour long, the winning car is the one that travels the most laps, and the cars can only be powered by a battery pack of up to 1000 Wh capacity. Finishing at the top of the field requires minimizing energy losses all around the vehicle, primarily in the battery, motor, and motor controller. To accomplish this, we are building custom power conversion circuits with higher than usual efficiency and a system for presenting information to the driver so they can control the car optimally.

Low switching losses and RDSON for industry leading efficiency
DC fast charging between races, a charge 100% in under 2 hours
We can't afford to test every motor, so it's important to predict performance
