Building an electric car
I'm helping out the Hutt Valley High School's electric car team with their entry
for the 2004 Sunrace in Australia. Although this is known mainly as a solarcar
event, the team will be entering in an EV (Electric Vehicle) class. The batteries
will be charged overnight from the mains.
Disclaimer: This is not an official website for the team. It's just a page I'm
posting my pictures on.
The team's website is not working at present, but
when it returns to life it will be at
www.solarcar.org.nz.
