The X Prize competition knockout qualifying events are only 4 months away, but at Edison2 we decided it was time to share the excitement we're experiencing. The car we are building, the Very Light Car, will be safe, nimble, and get over 100 MPGe (Miles Per Gallon Equivalent). A car that is truly environmentally friendly, cradle to grave. A car that is simple to assemble and affordable to buy. The most efficient platform ever built.
We are starting this blog so the world can follow us as the competition approaches. We will update you on the Very Light Car, and how other teams are progressing (110 team entered in June; 39 remain). We will talk about other issues, like why we chose a carbon-based fuel instead of electricity as our power source. Get to know us and our team, our ideas, and our challenges. We invite everyone to send comments, questions, and suggestions.
