With the EV Challenge coming up this weekend, the team is starting to feel the time crunch, but is still making great progress. Just last week, we installed our Soliton 1 controller, Curtis DC/DC Converter, and our 12-volt Auxiliary battery supplied by Interstate Battery Company. The controller and one extra 8-volt battery are fitted on a plate produced by GP Fabrications that is positioned just above the electric motor.

As of Sunday, May 15, the wheels on our Mustang turned under the power of the motor. This is a great sign that our vehicle is almost complete and ready to compete this weekend.
