The event is sponsored by the Association to Promote Electric Vehicles. It will be among about 20 participants from all over the world. The 200-mile rally starts Tuesday, March 27, and crosses the country from the Caribbean to the Pacific, going through cities, towns, rainforests, and mountains. It ends Sunday, April 1.
Some vehicles are electric, some are solar-powered, some are single passenger micro vehicles.
Any car that makes it through the course is a winner. The truck has already made the trip to Costa Rica. Members of the UCR team will follow. Students are Renee Cox, Marisa Garcia, Kurt Anderson and Kevin Sharp. Each one has designed a project to carry out while in Costa Rica.
