Send us a textThe problem with the way we've been doing EV outreach at and with events is wrong! It’s expected, unoriginal, and easily forgettable.And at the end of the day, how much impact will talking to 30 people (who don’t really care what you have to say and only approached out of curiosity), really make? Not that much. And, if you or your organization put down money for the privilege, then honestly, it was a mistake. But worse, you spent your time and resources to set up and be present, but not really effective.  Let’s be real, the mission that we all share, is to move progress forward and get more people driving more EVs. So our efforts have to be impactful. And that means that for or at events, what we do and how we do it has to engage with the attendees who are there… so how do we do this?Well, that's what this episode is all about! I'm giving real ideas, some proven, some well... off the top of my head that I have no idea if they'll work or not. But definitely something to think about.—————————————Mentioned in the show:The 2024 Electric Vehicle Festival: www.electricvehiclefest.comThe 2024 Clean Fuels Summit: www.electricvehiclefest.com/summitZEV Tour: www.zevtour.com—————————————Patreon Supporters: Director Tier - Rajeev Narayan, Andy CooperExecutive Producer Tier - Christopher Lawrence, Dave LaansmaProducer Tier - Eric Weber,  Tony StuntzIf you would like to support the EV Resource Podcast, Magazine, Newsletter, and YouTube Channel, head over to Patreon and consider a monthly contribution. https://www.patreon.com/EVResource—————————————Life on Record: https://www.lifeonrecord.com—————————————Instead of mandatory membership fees or paywalls, I use advertising and affiliate connections to keep The EV Resource Podcast and The EV Resource Magazine free for all of you.

Send us a textThe Washington DC Electric Vehicle Grand Prix is a hands-on educational program for high schools in Washington DC, Maryland, Ohio and Virginia.  The competition was held on Saturday June 1, 2024 at RFK stadium. For this competition student teams apply engineering, science, and math principles and strategy to construct and race battery powered electric cars. The project also helps improve their understanding of renewable energy technologies and project management while working in a team environment. Other aspects of the program involve marketing, PR and fundraising as well as logistics planning in preparation for the races.Participation in the DCEVGP serves as an excellent opportunity for young men and women in high schools to better prepare them for their college careers in science and engineering.  The electric vehicles are single person, lightweight, aerodynamic, high efficiency, electric-motor- driven vehicles with three wheels. They must meet specific design and safety rules. They are powered by deep cycle sealed lead acid (SLA) battery packs not exceeding 33 kg (73 pounds).  The race is held on a purpose-built closed track with a minimum length of 0.25 miles.  Speeds are software limited through the controller to insure utmost safety.  Teams drive their electrically powered vehicles as far as possible for one hour on the closed loop course using only energy stored in their batteries.  The winner of the DCEVGP is the team that covers the longest distance in the allotted hour.This year's results:First place: 445 - Harrisonburg High School Blue Streaks (66 laps)Second place: 130 - Stuarts Draft High School Short Circuits (65 laps)Third place: 554 - Harrisonburg High School Rocktown Raptors (63 laps)Best New Team Performance: 924 - DuVal High School Tigers EV RacingTeam Safety Award: 333 - Jackson-Reed High School JR RacingFastest Qualifying Lap: 445 - Harrisonburg High School Blue Streaks (43.1 sec)Best Event/Team Promotion: 782 - Wheaton HS Society of Women Engineers - 2Best Use of 3D Printing: 657 - Sidwell Friends School SECRETTeam Sportsmanship Award: 001 - Friendship Collegiate Academy KnightsWomen in Science & Eng (WISE) Award: Jamie Lewis/Emily Cleveland (Wheaton HS)Best Vehicle Graphics Design: 459 - Eastern Technical High School Electric MavericksTechnical Innovation Award: 445 - Harrisonburg High School Blue StreaksBest Vehicle Workmanship: 111 - Perry Hall High School GatorsBest Team Photo: 924 - DuVal High School Tigers EV RacingBest Team Video: 130 - Stuarts Draft High School Short CircuitsHonorable Mention (spirit of the event):  Oxon Hill High SchoolWebsite: https://globaleee.org/DCEVGP.htmlFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DCEVGP—————————————Patreon Supporters:Director Tier - Rajeev Narayan, Andy CooperExecutive Producer Tier - Christopher LawrenceProducer Tier - Eric Weber,  Tony StuntzIf you would like to support the EV Resource Podcast, Magazine, Newsletter, and YouTube Channel, head over to Patreon and consider a monthly contribution. https://www.patreon.com/EVResource—————————————Instead of mandatory membership fees or paywalls, I use advertising and affiliate connections to keep The EV Resource Podcast and The EV Resource Magazine free for all of you.
