MECC on Technically Philly

These 4 student-built cars were revving up at the Philly Auto Show.

“High schoolers from Montco’s Methacton High School Electric Car Club, accompanied by professor Steve Savitz, showed off their battery-powered Lorax ride, which can be charged by an adjoining truck that uses solar panels. The truck was transformed into a hands-on classroom focused on alternative fuels.

Although the car was acquired and transformed to run with electric power in 1999, the project is ongoing for the students, who are in charge of maintenance (with help from local businesses and grants from the Methacton School District).”
