- "Electrathon" is an electric vehicle endurance racing competition. The winner is determined by who traveled the farthest in two 1-hour races on 1kwh of battery power in each race. The cars are generally 3 wheeled, hand built vehicles although some kit-built cars have been available in the past. Cars are similar in size to a go-kart and frequently have an aerodynamic body. Unlike a go-kart, they are powered by electric motors and rechargeable batteries, industrially produced. The battery is limited to 1kwh of capacity. This equates to approximately 73lbs of lead-acid battery. Other battery chemistries are allowed but the weights are restricted accordingly to maintain the 1kwh capacity limit. This type of lightweight car appeared in Australia in the late 1970s and was warmly embraced and introduced into American culture as early as 1980. The current official record is 62.05 miles (99.86 km) as of February 2011. Electrathon class vehicles are principally defined and constrained by length and width (12 feet long and 4 feet wide or 3.6 m × 1.2 m maximum) and by battery weight and chemistry (73 pounds or 33 kilograms, sealed lead acid). Discharged for one hour, this amounts to just under one kilowatt (1.3 hp). Driver's weight is ballasted to 180 lb (82 kg) for fairness. Safety regulations require features such as braking systems, roll bars, and electrical disconnects. The cost to build an electrathon racer varies but has been shown to be as little as $1300 USD for a complete car with batteries. (en)
- El electratón es un vehículo eléctrico de, mínimo, tres ruedas. Posee dimensiones similares a un kart (250 x 200 cm como máximo), pero es impulsado por un motor eléctrico y batería de plomo ácido de tipo comercial. No puede superar los 45 kg de peso. El Proyecto electratón México promueve la categoría Formula Electratón Experimental. Esta categoría se conforma por vehículos eléctricos en su mínima expresión, optimizados y simplificados al máximo. De esta forma, su construcción es relativamente sencilla y bastante económica. Por ello, esta categoría funciona como la herramienta pedagógica ideal para que los estudiantes se familiaricen con la tecnología de los vehículos eléctricos y, posteriormente, puedan desarrollar categorías más sofisticadas.
