What is the Electric Vehicle Challenge (eV Challenge)?
The Electric Vehicle Challenge (better known as the eV Challenge) is a competition open to both high school and community groups. The basis of the competition is for these students to build a cost-effective, electric-powered vehicle. It culminates in a one-day event in which the winning team is the team whose vehicle travels the greatest distance in 60 minutes.
Who is it aimed at?
The eV Challenge is aimed at high school students who are classified into two groups (years 8 to 10 and years 11 to 12), tertiary institutions, community groups and private individuals.
When is it held?
The eV Challenge is held annually in October. This year’s eV Challenge will be held on Saturday 21st of October 2006.
What are the objectives of the eV Challenge?
- To raise awareness of electric-powered vehicles as a viable means of transport that is less dependent on fossil fuel, a non-renewable source of energy.
- To expose participants, especially students, to scientific concepts, design skills and technologies relevant to electric vehicles as well as concepts associated with renewable energy and energy efficiency.
- To encourage innovation, motivation and teamwork among participants.
- To foster cross-discipline communication in schools among the various disciplines such as Science, Physics, Design and Technology, Maths, Society and the Environment.
What do the participants do?
The participants, who work in teams, have to build a battery-powered vehicle for less than $1,200. A list of rules and regulations are sent to interested teams early in the year to give the teams' sufficient time to build their electric vehicle.
A pre-event workshop is held about a month prior to the event to address any concerns about the electric vehicles built.
Expertise is made available to those who need to iron out any issues prior to event day.
On event day, the teams compete with each other in a closed circuit at Swan TAFE’s Midland Campus. The team that travel the greatest distance in 60 minutes wins the Challenge!

- You can use the event as a forum to promote your business, products and/or services, especially if it is related to renewable energy.
- Your company's branding will be significantly visible through the placement of its corporate identity in all collateral associated with eV Challenge.
