A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be an exhibitor at the PPL Innovation Showcase! This was a great opportunity to meet many of the sustainability efforts that PPL supports and talk with professionals in the industry. This event was very insightful as we continue to develop the car and we look forward to applying what we learned and continue to share the UK Solar Car with the community!
