Our mission is to prepare and inspire students for the future of transportation and clean energy through hands-on, workforce-ready EV education.

About

Switch Vehicles creates hands-on electric vehicle education programs that inspire students, empower teachers, and prepare the next generation of technical problem-solvers. Our mission is to help schools bring real-world EV learning into the classroom through safe, engaging, project-based experiences.

Our flagship pathway, The Switch Lab™ EV, gives students the unforgettable opportunity to build, test, and drive a full-size electric vehicle while developing technical, teamwork, documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills. Our broader EV education pathway includes curriculum, instructor workshops, lab kits, safety equipment, and training platforms designed for STEM, CTE, automotive, engineering, and workforce development programs.

Since 2013, Switch Vehicles has supported 400+ schools with reusable, classroom-ready EV learning solutions manufactured and supported from our shop in Sebastopol, California.
