Charge Car Open House

Want to learn about electric vehicles? Want to share what you already know with excited community members?

Mechanics, students and community members interested in converting vehicles from gas to electric power are invited to look under the hood of the ChargeCar Project’s electric vehicle program during an open house at 4:00 p.m. Friday March 26 at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute.
