The 1971 Datsun 240Z was donated to the EV team in November of 1993. Since then, the Datsun has advanced through many wiring configurations with each passing wave of students. The vehicle currently runs on 156 V of lithium ion batteries, a student-built IGBT controller, and a 35 HP series wound DC motor. The team’s vision for the future of the Datsun includes increasing the number of batteries and overall voltage, getting a passenger seat, and implementing a data acquisition system.
