Aztec Electric Racing

Last Friday, Aztec Electric Racing proudly unveiled AER24! We want to thank our sponsors, team members, and the faculty at SDSU College of Engineering and SDSU Research Foundation for their support. AER24 comes with several impressive upgrades: a 5-inch reduction in wheelbase, a 50 lbs weight reduction, and a brand new battery design with a fully custom battery management system. We are excited to test AER24 at the Formula Hybrid+Electric competition later this month. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! #fsae #formulastudent #formulafsae #sdsu #engineering #racecar

AER February 2024 Recap: General Body Meeting (GBM): - This month we held our start of semester GBM. It was great to address the entire team and officially kick off the fabrication of AER24. AER Sub-team progress: - The Chassis team has fully jigged and tacked the chassis. We have completed 40% of the welding. - The Energy Storage team had finished welding the first brand new accumulator in over 8 years. Full assembly and testing will be completed by the end of march. -The Operations and Finance team has completed purchasing over 200+ items.
