Tuesday, January 14th was spent traveling to Austin and talking to Chris at Revolt, a company that is hired to convert cars to EVs (electric vehicles). The drive there took a typical three hours, we left around eight in the morning, everyone made sure to arrive earlier to school than usual. The drive there was uneventful, which was a good thing. I tried to catch some sleep, but that was unsuccessful. We spent a lot of the drive when we were nearing Austin wondering where we were going to eat lunch, and to our surprise, Shiraz discovered that there was an In N Out Burgers and Fries, which is where we decided to eat. The lunch was great, and we left to see Chris and what he's doing over at Revolt. When we got there, he led us into the building which happened to be a hackerspace that he rents space from to house his company. The whole visit was three hours, and Chris talked about all the parts necessary for EV conversion, we looked at one of his current projects, a Porsche 911 that he was changing out the batteries for. We also looked at an MR2 that he had recently finished converting. By the end of our visit, our heads were just filled to the brim with information about electric cars, we probably couldn't take any more. Chris was extremely knowledgeable of his chosen craft in life, which is a good thing. The drive back was relaxing, we wrote up their notes and posted a journal to our google drive. We got back to the school around seven at night, but it was a good day.
Here are some pictures from Revolt:
