Abstract/Artist's Statement
The SPROJ will be an investigation into what it takes to build an electric vehicle, from design to engineering to the manufacturing. In the past couple years especially, companies have developed their own electric vehicles in search of an environmentally friendly and energy efficient way of using our Earth’s resources. This project aims to produce a greater understanding of what this development entails. The main ideas were to develop a design that would be the blueprint for the vehicle, look into the physical properties of the materials and create an efficient power conversion from motor to wheels. The process and organization of this project clarifies how the development of electric vehicles today needs the collaboration of companies, utilizing their research and aspirations to achieve optimal output of power and energy efficiency using current technologies.
