Overview
The 2018 Electric Vehicle Rally (EVER) Egypt is a national scale competition in designing an urban electric vehicle. The competition is targeted towards young engineering candidates challenging them to design, build and drive an urban concept of an electric vehicle. The organizing team will hold multiple educational awareness seminars and technical workshops to increase the readiness of those participating. The main objective of this competition is to create more interdisciplinary engineering graduates with the needed knowledge, hands-on skills and experience in designing and operating electric vehicles. This is a step needed to create the required human resources to power an electric vehicle industry in Egypt. The ASRT funds this competition to alleviate the barriers that face Egyptian students trying to penetrate the realm of designing and building electric vehicles.
