Students think battery power is the wave of the future.
North Vance students converted a pickup truck. High school students from all over the East Coast gathered in Wake County this weekend to show off their electric cars and to compete in the 6th annual Electric Vehicle Challenge. In this electric competition, students and cars from Washington, D.C. to Florida are judged in a variety of categories, including function, instrumentation, safety and appearance. Students from Enloe High say there is also a bigger purpose. The students at the Electric Vehicle Challenge are charged up about a learning experience that takes them out of the classroom.
