Their current electric racing vehicle, called Aurora, has 326 solar cells that charge a 13 kWh battery pack. It can only go 68 miles per hour, but they only rarely go that fast.
Why? Because the car’s battery can only take it 200 miles at 30 MPH. That’s impressive for only 13 kWh of storage, but it’s also helped by getting extra power from the sun to go faster during a day.
And it’s working. O’Mara already has a job lined up at Ford this fall and she’s going to work on drivetrain development. The solar racing program and working on Aurora itself gave her the opportunity to prepare for that line of work, and it probably wasn’t bad for her resume when it came time to look for jobs working on electric vehicles.
