EV CHALLENGE POWERED BY SYNERGY
The eV Challenge powered by Synergy is Australia's longest running electric motorsport competition, first established in 2001. The aim of the event is to have teams - mainly from high schools - design, build, test and construct a small single seat electric vehicle. Powered by a limited battery capacity and built to a limited budget, teams try and complete as many laps of a closed course as possible in 1 hour. The eV Challenge powered by Synergy is one of Australia's premier STEM education competitions, encouraging innovative engineering in a competitive and stimulating arena. Join us!
ABOUT THE EV CHALLENGE POWERED BY SYNERGY
Learn What We’re About
The eV Challenge powered by Synergy is all about education and having fun while learning. Our stated aim is to be primarily a STEM education event - giving teachers and students an opportunity to put skills and concepts into action, work together as a team to solve engineering problems, and to have design solutions evaluated in the most unforgiving of arenas - competition. Teams from tertiary institutions, corporations and private teams are always welcome guests too!
Our rules have safety as their number one priority. Developed in conjunction with CAMS, the national motorsport governing body, the regulations allow teams to construct safe vehicles whilst still pushing the limits of school-based vehicle engineering.
