EVolocity 2026 Prep

Understanding complex systems
and making them move better.

15 year old EVolocity participant. Building electric vehicles and documenting the process through data and analysis.

How It Started

Started in 2025 with a simple question: can the right data beat raw power? The variables were efficiency, weight, and drivetrain management.

From 2025, we took 2nd Overall and 1st in Standard Class Efficiency. 2025 used 350W motors provided by EVolocity.

EVolocity 2026 — The Build Phase

2025 showed data wins. Now we’re scaling for Open Class.

What’s Carried Over

  • Chassis: WOF-compliant 2025 tubular steel (saves procurement cost)
  • Target weight: around 50kg

New Build

  • Motor: Kunray MY1020 48V, targeting 3000W peak
  • Controller: Flipsky 75100 V2 Pro (FOC for fine-grained regen control)
  • Body: PETG 3D-printed (80C heat resistance, printed on Ender 3s)

What Changed

Parameter 2025 2026 Target
Peak Power 2000W 3000W
Safety VESC only Independent watchdog
Telemetry None LoRa + CAN
Weight ~52kg ~50kg

Our 2025 efficiency came from regen tuning. The VESC logs revealed the braking curve: peak regen in the first 300ms, then asymptotic decay.
