Vehicle

Overview This project’s objective is to design and prototype an affordable electric racecar to demonstrate the potential for EVs as an economically viable and environmentally sustainable transportation solution. Objective The main objective is to create an electric vehicle within 6 months with a budget of $15,000 or less, capable of reliable road performance while minimizing the use of premade or off-the-shelf components. Scope This project involves the design, engineering, and fabrication of the following systems: Mechanical Chassis, Suspension Assembly, Traction battery, Electric power train, Auxiliary Battery, Auxiliary System, Secondary System, Proximity System, Thermal Regulation, User Interface, Energy Management, and Communication Systems. ...

This was the auxiliary and traction battery pack for the applied engineering boat! It uses welded lithium ion cells to work.

This is the traction system for the AE boat. It uses a bunch of quickly switching FETs to drive the motor, and uses two relays to switch the direciton the boat is moving, pretty intuitive stuff!
