Kansas ElectroRally

Sunflower has partnered with its Member distribution cooperatives to support the Kansas ElectroRally since its inception in 1997. The Kansas ElectroRally is an organization that hosts competitions for Kansas high school teams that design and build light weight, efficient electric vehicles. Developed around specific rules designed to keep costs down and competition high, these unique vehicles offer an opportunity and challenge to experiment, learn and compete. Kansas ElectroRally is an excellent educational opportunity and a stimulating sport for schools with both academic and career technical curriculum combining physics, mathematics, electronics, auto technology, and graphic design. An ElectroRally is a type of electric marathon in which the winner is determined by how far a driver can travel in a certain time with a given amount of battery power. All Kansas ElectroRally events are sanctioned through Electrathon America.

Sunflower and its Member distribution cooperatives have a history of sponsoring Kansas ElectroRally competitions and schools participating in the program. Recognizing the educational value and benefit of the program, Sunflower and its Member distribution cooperatives in cooperation with teachers across the state were instrumental in the reorganization of the Kansas ElectroRally in 2005. Today, we continue to volunteer organizational duties for ElectroRally competitions.
