This week, Stu chats with Todd Jackson, the team manager of the University of Kentucky Solar Car Team! They discuss the history of the team and how solar cars have evolved over the years. Todd talks about the culture of the team and about how their experience can transfer to electric cars and other engineering careers. They even discuss how the Aptera vehicle is influenced by the work that these universities are doing in the field of solar-powered vehicles. Here comes the solar car!
