Why Do Electrathon?

The 1998 (premiere) edition of the EVCO Electrathon was a great success! The 2nd annual EVCO Electrathon held in 1999 was bigger and better.

The Queen's University (Kingston, ON) Great Electric Car Race was held on Saturday May 27. The 2000 version of their event permitted Electrathon-class vehicles to participate in their own category, however, their 2-hour event duration was still in force. 18 vehicles participated in the event, including one made primarily from corrugated cardboard, including the wheels. It was a great success - our congratulations to all involved. For more information on the Queen's University, Faculty of Education event, please contact their event co-ordinator.

The 2000 EVCO Electrathon was organized and partially sponsored by EVCO (the Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa).
