• Ohio State University students design high-speed electric vehicle, expects speeds of 400mph

    We’ve had land speed records being set and broken time and again with electric vehicles doing the speed runs. Students from the Ohio State University are now pouring their minds out on blueprints, cooking up an electric vehicle that they hope will touch the 400mph. called the Buckeye Bullet, the vehicle uses an optimized body and fin shape based on aerodynamic simulations undertaken at the Ohio Supercomputer Center and sports a bunch of drag-reduction modifications, to decrease the force of winds and enable the vehicle go faster than ever. The design team expects this one to touch heart-stopping speeds of 400 mph (643kmph) when finished!


    Well, we wish them luck, hoping that the Ohio State University team proves to the world just how quickly powering up with electricity can get you around!
