RMIT Electric Racing

RMIT Electric Racing formed in 2008 and was the first ever electric vehicle built for the Formula SAE competition. Built on the success of over a decade of RMIT Racing, a small team of interested students and staff at RMIT set out to prove that they could produce a simple, completely electric counterpart for the combustion vehicle competition. Since its inception in 2008 at RMIT, every year Formula SAE globally has seen a rapid growth in the number and competitiveness of electric vehicles. In Australia, RMIT Electric Racing continues to be the number 1 placed electric vehicle, and is every year outperforming more and more combustion rivals. RMIT Electric Racing is fully-committed to sustainable engineering. Our mission is to promote the viability and exciting future of electric cars through not only showing we can compete with combustion powered cars, but by besting them.
