Today we held the unveiling of the Spitfire EV in conjunction with the August ASME Happy Hour Meeting. Several Denver area engineers showed up to check out the EV and ask questions. We even got grilled by a couple of local electricians too.
Tim took a ride with a local ASME member and the team got a chance to pose with Jim (the Spitfire's owner) and the completed EV

This has been a fun and rewarding project. We learned a lot about the art of EV conversions over the short summer. This knowledge will now be used toward completion of our Senior Capstone projects and graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
