We are proud to announce the completion of our latest vehicle, a 1961 VW Bug, the Voltswagen, just in time for Mr. Garrett's 50th birthday! The car belongs to Mr. Garrett, our former instructor, who was just named Executive Director of the EV Challenge. In addition to everyday use, he will use this vehicle as a tool for recruiting new schools to participate in the EV Challenge.
