“We ran into too many compounding problems from waiting on parts to arrive, to not being able to source proper parts, to existing systems not working properly, to systems integration between all of the electrical systems taking longer than expected. ”

Hmmmm. Probably would have been better if they said, we ran into a last minute oroblem. :)
Lol.

I wish them (students) good luck, but the electric vehicle industry is having a big problem right now for obvious reasons, even many begire the infustry got started.

The young man followed me around the night of the BT Street Show.He wanted to make sure I was saving a spot. First they had problems with the trailer brakes and could not get out of town. Then on the way up blew a tire. I put them under the stop light when they finally got here. Nice kids, but a eye opening to things going side ways for a group of young men.
