Volt
Runner is the product of my need for a
personal vehicle for my transportation needs in the Seattle
metropolitan area. The original 2007 design specs required an EV to
be used daily for trips in the local area, a top speed of 60+ mph, a
range of 50 miles, a total project cost of less than $15,000 and
a demonstration vehicle suitable for advancing SEVA's mission of
EV a) education, b)
demonstration and c) proliferation.
The theme of the car would be a somewhat ironic tribute to a classic
1970's muscle car, the Plymouth
Road Runner. This whimsical theme provides a bright
color connoting environmentally friendly and a superhero to appeal
to the car's target education audiences: elementary school students.
My project management responsibilities resulted in assembling the following team of product and service providers to successfully complete and continue to update my experimental EV project car (VoltRunner specs).
