That’s a successful track day for the books, and we couldn’t have done it without GO RACE INC!

They’ve always helped us out a ton by mounting and balancing our new tires. Check out their website for anything you might need at https://www.go-race.com/. Thanks Go Race!

We’ll have a full post coming about our track day at VIR soon!

Hey Hokies! Another year means another round of recruitment, and we’ll start it off with an interest meeting next week. We will announce the location soon, but be ready Thursday, September 8! We’ll see you soon!

Join us in wishing everyone a happy International Women in Engineering Day!

The work that women in this field do should never go unnoticed. This team would not be the same without our women engineers! Thank you all for everything!

Taking the time this Sunday to recognize our amazing Senior Design Team.

What a year — plenty of ups and downs. Plenty of long nights. But what a way to end it by breaking the dyno record!

We are all so thankful for everything you guys have done for this team, and we cannot wait to see where life takes you now! You should all be very proud of the work you’ve done.

Congratulations to all of you!

Hi all! We have a very exciting announcement:

Last week we took a short trip to Roanoke to put BOLT V on the dyno. In the process, we broke not only our dyno record, but Roanoke Valley Harley Davidson’s too!

Okay, enough teasing… BOLT V put down 147 horsepower to the rear wheel!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. A lot of hard work has gone into this, and it does not go unnoticed! And a very special thank you to Roanoke Valley Harley Davidson for letting use their dynamometer!

Lots of work going on behind the scenes to get BOLT IV and V race-ready! Stay tuned… 🤭😎

Another week, another welding knowledge transfer! This week we’ve been finishing up tig welding steel cubes. Here are our Erins’ with theirs! Thanks again, Matt!

Good morning all! Happy Friday! We’ve been hard at work putting BOLT IV back together, and the seniors have been making strides on the development of BOLT V. One of the interesting ongoing projects is the research into using an OEM inverter in future BOLT applications. This one is actually out of a Prius! They offer a few advantages, but mainly are more reliable, cost effective and safe.
