Hi Reddit! We're the students who designed and built Sunswift 7, a solar-electric car that holds the Guinness World Record for the Fastest EV over 1000km on a single charge.
We previously shared some pics of Sunswift to r/pics and really enjoyed chatting with you all about the build!
We're currently in Darwin preparing to race the latest iteration of Sunswift 7 across Australia as part of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge from Sunday.
At the last World Solar Challenge, wind stopped us (and all competing cars) from reaching the finish line in Adelaide - but this year we're determined to make it there and get there first (fingers crossed)!
We've got a few members of the team here to answer questions this afternoon. We'll be starting soon, and bear with us if replies are a bit delayed - we're squeezing in responses between race prep!
