EVolocity’s purpose is to draw more young people into science, technology & engineering, and educate the drivers of both today and tomorrow regarding the environmental, economic and performance benefits of electric vehicles.

What does EVolocity do?

We run a project based learning programme in high schools in which teams of students are equipped with an electric motor, batteries and a set of technical regulations. During the year, with tutoring assistance from our tertiary and trades training partners and industry experts, the teams design & build their own electric vehicles, developing skills and interests in mechanical and electrical engineering, power electronics, programming, video production and social media. During September and October we run regional finals competitions with teams competing in a variety of categories including performance, innovation, design & show, reporting, and communications. Then in late November/early December, we hold the national finals of the school competition.
