Since 2013, Sonoma Clean Power, Career Technical Education Foundation, Sonoma County Office of Education, and Switch Electric Vehicles engage schools to work together to implement an Electric Vehicle design and manufacturing program in classes to develop awareness, knowledge, and skills among our youth around clean energy.
Switch Electric Vehicles developed a comprehensive program that teaches students (middle school, high school, and college) the fundamentals of electric vehicle design, assembly, manufacturing, and maintenance. SCP funded several kits at select local schools that allow students to assemble a street-legal electric vehicle.
