Electrical Team

Electrical Lead: Nick Merante

Electrical Team

The Electrical Team is primarily responsible for the design & functionality of subsystems on our motorcycles. The list of systems includes, but is not limited to: Battery Management System (BMS), Thermal Management System (TMS), Heads-Up Display and Indicator Lighting (HUDL), Charge Controller, Gateway Utility Board (GUB), and the Thermocouple Measurement Unit (TMU). Members work on these projects in groups of 3-6 people, typically over the course of 2 semesters. Projects typically go through the stages of research, schematic design/component selection, PCB layout, ordering, and finally testing. The EVT standard document for Hardware Bringup and standard process flow documents are linked below.

The objective of the 2024-2025 school year is to finalize the boards designed for REV3 and begin development of additional auxiliary boards. The target race date for REV3 is Summer 2025. Another goal is to revitalize DEV1 and also prepare it for a race in Summer 2025.
