Due to technological developments and redoubled focus on renewable energy, electric vehicles are revived in the 21st century. A great deal of demand for electric vehicles is developed and some do-it-yourself (DIY) engineers begin to share technical details for electric vehicle conversions. This paper shows a design process such as problem definition, design objective, design concept, prototype, and test. The process inspires many students of groups at our universities to put the theory of energy efficiency to the test, using innovative technology, reflective thinking apologetics, and creative ideas. Then, the concept of an electric vehicle is tested for driving in Shell Eco-marathon Asia Contest with the best energy consumption.
