To submit comments, please click on the link at the top of the page in the draft rule or go to the next web page. Keep in mind that all rule questions must be routed through the rule-question-answer portal. Several changes have been made to sections F – Chassis and Structure and T – Technical aspects. Design also replaced the design report with the 2021 design review briefing. A summary of the revision is provided as a courtesy; but not a complete list. If there is a problem with a rule or part of it, please provide enough explanation so that we can understand why you have a problem. If you have a recommended solution or a possible new formulation, provide it as well. Changes were made to items that received multiple questions about the rules or needed to be updated to reflect current practices. There have also been many minor changes made to improve format and readability in summary, I think you balance during the charging process, then let it drift a small amount during the rain, and you`ll fix it the next time you charge. My interpretation of the intent is that you should only balance the cells when the AARs are closed during the charging process (where someone should monitor the system).

In my understanding of charge cycles, you don`t need to balance normal batteries every time you charge, as long as you do what each pair uses. I would object to balancing the cells while driving because you only burn the limited power you would get from the rain brakes. The 2022 Formula SAE rules are now available for student teams to review and prepare for the upcoming 2022 Collegiate Design Series competition season.

I cannot say that I understand the intent of this rule. It basically states that HT power must be where it is absolutely not needed. What for? EV.8.3.3 Cell balancing with EV.6.4 battery isolation relay open is not permitted. It has always been there. I think it`s about minimizing the risk of “unattended” fires. Don`t just check the changes listed. Please feel free to provide us with feedback on the entire document. Prof. Philip N.
