Melted terminal

McMichael EV team had a breakdown w/ our Electric Fox EV. After a short drive to visit a local sponsor the EV lost all power. Turns out that one of the 8V batteries in the trunk had melted a terminal. Not sure what happened but the terminal had completely melted and the 2/0 connector was making no contact. Luckily we had an extra 8v battery back at the shop and just did a simple replacement. Next week we will check all the terminals and look for problems.

Lucas, Adam, and Hunter replacing the battery w/ melted terminal. When working near 90+ volts always be extremely careful!

Job well done....ready to ride!

Back at school... now we need to check ALL connections!

Eden Cruise in at Sonic - August 13th

McMichael EV team visited the Eden, NC. The cruise-in was one the best events of the summer. Luckily the heat broke today and the EV team didn't have to sit through hours of extreme 90+ heat. We arrived around 4:30 pm and chilled at Sonic off of NC HWY 14 till about 9:00pm. There were a good amount of cars and people, but a small shower led to some leaving. After 8:00pm a nice band played some great songs and many folks just took it easy as the sun went down. Overall this was one of the best shows!

The Electric fox fit right in at this car show.

Notice the new edge GT and '83 GT just to the left, and several '50s - '70s classic also!

A little rain never hurts a good car show!

Several of the folks that stopped and talked to the EV team noticed our great sponsors.
