Team
Electrical
High Voltage
Lead: Arnav Revankar
Designs the vehicle's HV power architecture, including battery wiring, MPPTs, contactors, and fusing, while managing power-on sequencing and coordinating CAN bus communication as the integration point across every electrical subsystem.
Low Voltage
Lead: Marco Sitar
Owns the 12V system, from DC-DC conversion to the supplemental battery handoff, while designing the driver control box circuitry and signal wiring that keep every switch, light, and sensor running reliably.
