The evGrandPrix (EVGP) is an annual international electric powered go-kart competition held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in May of each year and was launched by Purdue University in 2010. Purdue partnered with the leading technical universities and colleges in Indiana to establish a program to educate and train the workforce needed to design, manufacture, and maintain advanced electric vehic

les. This competition allows students to demonstrate and apply their knowledge gained from engineering courses in real work applications. The University of Windsor’s 2016 EVGP Team is looking to improve upon last year’s Go-Karts by increasing the budget to integrate superior quality and technology. This year our team is again entering two (2) karts in the competition and the main difference in our design from last year’s karts, is changing one kart to an AC motor and refining the DC motor kart. Included in this year’s entry, we plan on implementing a new sophisticated control system to keep track of our karts performance and the addition of a thermocouple system to measure, monitor and optimize the heat output to maximize the kart’s efficiency. Our goal is raise enough funds to purchase higher quality lithium ion batteries to substantially improve our kart’s endurance and to finish the competition in the top 3 entries.
