FellowshipSatisfaction Surveys/Feedback
“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am so grateful for the opportunity and the investment EVHybridNoire has made into my future. This fellowship program has been key in breaking the knowledge barrier between myself and the realm of e-mobility. As a part of the fellowship, I was connected to faculty that was very knowledgeable of e-mobility and transportation studies at my university. This connection has allowed me explore opportunities in transportation research. The fellowship has also connected me with likeminded students who are focused on problemsolving and using our skill sets to advance the transportation industry. It has been eyeopening and life-changing.”
"The fellowship program was a transformative journey that opened my eyes to the immense potential of the electric vehicle sector. Through its comprehensive curriculum and hands-on experiences, I gained profound insights into the impact of electric vehicles on society and the environment. This fellowship became my platform to not only understand the intricacies of EV technology but also to become an advocate for sustainable transportation. Armed with knowledge, I engaged with communities, spreading awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles and their role in societal development. I discovered my passion for sustainability and societal progress, fostering a sense of purpose to contribute meaningfully to the world."
