More than 20 Ontario high school teams race electric cars at Waterloo event

More than 20 teams of high school students from across Ontario competed Sunday in the annual Waterloo EV Challenge at the University of Waterloo. Students designed, built and raced single-seat electric vehicles on a course set up on campus. Winners were determined by the distance travelled during the race.

The competition gives students hands-on experience in engineering design and project management. CBC K-W's Diego Pizarro spoke with student competitors and technicians about the work that went into building the cars.
