CUER Talk with Chelmsford Science and Engineering Society

In order to reduce emissions, more and more people are switching to electric vehicles. This is welcome news but EVs still come with one problem – they have to be charged!

All over the world there are teams, usually of students, working to overcome this problem by building cars which are powered by the sun and can run for thousands of miles without charging from the grid.

Join us as the Cambridge University Eco-Racing team describe how they are preparing to take part in the 2023 World Solar Challenge in Australia, and why building the car is only half of the challenge...

Arrive early and you will be able to look over the team's 2019 car, Helia, which is being prepared to race in Belgium in September this year.

Car viewing 18:30 (TBC), talk starts at 19:30. Note that the car viewing is to be confirmed for logistical reasons, so while booking isn't essential you may wish to register so that we can contact you with details nearer the time, if necessary.
