Who We Are

• We are high school students from the Academy of
  Automotive and Mechanical Engineering at West
  Philadelphia High School.

Brief History

• The EV (Electric Vehicle) Team began in 1999 with
  the conversion of a Jeep Wrangler to electric
  power. Students placed first in the Science Fair
  and were featured in Popular Science Magazine.
• This success opened doors to begin the after
  school program which became known as the EV Team.
• Over the next several years, students built and
  competed with electric and hybrid vehicles,
  winning the Tour de Sol in 2002 for the first
  time.

Electric Saturn

• The team converted a 1993 Saturn SL 2 to electric
  power by using a 324 volt lead-acid battery pack
  and a brushless DC motor.
• This vehicle won the 2002 Tour de Sol
  competition, beating out 41 other teams.

The Hybrid Jeep

• The hybrid Jeep was the Teams first hybrid
  vehicle.
• The Jeep also got 35 miles to the gallon.

K1 Attack

• After the victory in the 2002 Tour de Sol
  students decided to dream big.
• The team created the concept of the worlds first
  hybrid super car.
• The goal was to create a hybrid car that was cool
  and fast and broke the stereotypes of the typical
  hybrid car.
• We took the next two years to design and build
  the Hybrid K1 Attack.

Our Goal

• Our goal is to win the X Prize by designing and
  building a vehicle that achieves 100mpg, and is
  safe, affordable and fun to drive. This vehicle
  will be designed for the urban market and will
  have a significant impact on urban air quality.
• Our second goal is to direct attention to the
  problems in air quality in the urban area.

How You Can Help

• Our vehicle will serve to raise the level of
  awareness of the severity of environmental issues
  and demonstrate real solutions.
• We need financial, technical, and marketing
  support to make our vehicle a reality.

  this competition.
