About the Project

Electric vehicles (EVs) will make up 10 percent of new vehicles by the year 2030, and electric bike (e-bike) sales have surged 269% as of 2022. Most of our students have ridden, or know of someone that has an e-bike or electric vehicle. It is important that our students know how these vehicles work, know how they are designed differently, and know how to properly build and maintain electric vehicles. This grant will provide advanced engineering students the opportunity to design, build, and test their own electric vehicle. As the demand for electric vehicles increases, so does the demand for engineers with background in EVs.
