Develop OK Motorsports EV Test Bench
Help OK Motorsports develop our first electric race car by supporting the acquisition of safety equipment and materials to test our EV’s drive system!
Project Description
Get ready for the ride of a lifetime! We’re OK Motorsports, UBC Okanagan’s Formula SAE team, on a mission to craft our first electric, open-wheel race car for the 2025 International FSAE Competition. But before we hit the track, we need your help.
Our focus? The electric drivetrain—the heartbeat of our race car. To nail its performance, we’re building an electric vehicle (EV) test bench, which requires high voltage power wires, various relays, and cooling lines. This test bench is our secret weapon, fine-tuning our tech before the big race.
With your support, we’ll snag the tools and materials needed to make this test bench a reality. Join us in powering UBCO’s first-ever EV race car and be part of this electrifying journey toward innovation and racing glory!
