Electric Vehicle Challenge

ANNUAL RACING TOURNAMENT

Thank you!

With 17 teams from 9 high schools, the year’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Challenge was a success! It is always great to see the passion, creativity, and drive from these exceptional students each year.

We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors and volunteers. Your support and hard work make this event possible, and we couldn’t do it without you. We can’t wait to see you all again next year!

About the Electric Vehicle Challenge

The Vital Link Electric Vehicle (EV) Challenge, formerly known as the Energy Invitational Competition, is the ultimate showcase of students pushing the limits of design, construction, and racing prowess. 

Throughout the school year, students in classes and clubs engage in the construction of energy-efficient vehicles. They use a variety of energy sources to either completely construct them from the ground up or alter already-built vehicles. 

As students develop their operational prototypes, they gain a comprehensive understanding of various disciplines, including electrical and mechanical engineering, aerodynamics, physics, technology, and much more. At the end of the school year, over 25 high school teams, and 250 students compete head-to-head in an exciting timed-trial race for the coveted first-place prize.
