Getting ready for the EV Challenge



Here at McMichael were making some final changes and modifications to the car before the EV Challenge tomorrow. We have been working very hard to make the car as good as possible for this year. We are changing the 92' dashboard to an 82' dashboard and even though they are the same model they have many differences and we are having to custom make some parts.





One of our sponsors Victory Chevrolet has let us borrow a Chevy Tahoe to take to the EV Challenge.


The EV Challenge this year is being held at the NCCAR facility in Garysburg NC and consist of many high school teams making Ev's just like us. They have added some new events to the final challenge this year such as acceleration and a jeopardy challenge. Our students are hard at work studying up on the knowledge of electric vehicles, such as Nathan Connor on his oral presentation and Eli Strickland and Tyler Haney working on the EV jeopardy event. Wish us luck as we go to NCCAR and take on the EV Challenge!
