Four fully electric mini-cars will be available on the UW-Madison campus next year for short-term checkout by anyone with a university ID. UW-Madison is one of four universities selected to receive these Innova Dash cars. Designed by Innova UEV, these “new urban electric vehicles” will include tablet-sized computers that will be connected to the university’s wireless network. The computers will feed data about position, speed and battery charge directly to the network. The data will then be used by various research projects. For more information
