About Volt Runner

Volt Runner as envisioned and as builtVolt Runner is the product of my need for a personal vehicle for my transportation needs in the Seattle metropolitan area. The original 2007 design specs required an EV to be used daily for trips in the local area, a top speed of 60+ mph, a range of 50 miles, a total project cost of less than $15,000 and a demonstration vehicle suitable for advancing SEVA's mission of EV a) education, b) demonstration and c) proliferation.

The theme of the car would be a somewhat ironic tribute to a classic 1970's muscle car, the Plymouth Road Runner. This whimsical theme provides a bright color connoting environmentally friendly and a superhero to appeal to the car's target education audiences: elementary school students.
