The 2nd Annual FSEV Concept Challenge, hosted by Ather Energy at their headquarters in Bengaluru on Sunday October 7, 2018, was a huge success. Ten teams from Pilani, Pune, Manipal and Bengaluru participated at this competition, which was judged by EV experts from companies such as Ather Energy, Robert Bosch Engineering Solutions, Siemens Corporate Research, Mercedes Benz, Unique Autosourcing, Mach Motors and RAAD Systems. Click here for the schedule, participating teams and judges.

In order to ensure that there was a fair platform for new teams and those already registered for the Formula Bharat 2019 EV category, only student members graduating in 2020 and beyond were allowed to participate in this competition. Student teams were judged on their reports which tested them on their powertrain and battery design, and procurement strategy, and they were judged on their final presentation on their EV package and team strategy at the competition.

In addition to the competition itself, Ather Energy hosted workplace tours and expert panels for the student teams as well. The organizers of the event are grateful for the support provided by the staff at Ather Energy for hosting this event and dedicating their valuable time to this platform.
