Analysis of Body Material for Electric Car

Abstract

The FHSU electric vehicle design team is nearing the completion of a new car build to be raced in upcoming electro rally races. One of the final tasks associated with the new car build is determining the best material to use for the body of the car. The aim of this research was to determine the most suitable material for use in an electric race car among six commonly used materials: ABS, PVC, carbon fiber, fiberglass, 2024 aluminum, and 304 stainless steel. The team chose to perform an analysis of the characteristics of these materials to determine the best material based on strength, price, degradability, and density
