Kleenspeed at Los Altos High School as a Guest Speaker

Oct 20, 2010 , Kleenspeed Team visited Los Altos High School as a guest speaker. We proudly brought our E race car and Eiata with us and showed them to high school students.

Many kids were interested in how fact can an E race car go? Actually, 150 mph is the answer. It's very fast on the race track, such as Laguna Seca. Others were curious about how long can it be fully charged and what is the mileage range of Kleenspeed Eiata. 

During the speech, our CTO- Dante Zeviar was talking about how he became an engineer and how much time that he devoted himself into automotive industry. That was an inspiring speech. 

Here are some photos of the event. See how kids were interested in EVs.
