Monday 12 - 8 p.m.
Tuesday 12 - 5 p.m.
Wednesday 12 - 8 p.m.
Thursday 12 - 5 p.m.

It is easy to get involved with the AFV lab.  We're open to ALL MAJORS and ALL SKILLS.  We have needs for everyone - gearheads, artists, marketing, business, policy, and more!

The first step is to email Dr. Chris Bachmann - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and just let him know you're interested.  Then (even if he doesn't respond right away), come on out to the lab during one some of our shop hours and have a look around.  It's a low pressure, stimulating environment.  

Once you see what a great place it is, we know you'll want to be a part of it, so the next thing you need to do is participate in our SAFETY TRAINING.  This is a necessary step.  

The safety training schedule for Fall 2009 is as follows:

Mondays at 6 p.m. on the following dates:
9/7
9/14
9/21
9/28
10/5
11/2

Fridays at 3 p.m. on the following dates:
9/4
9/11
9/18
9/25
10/2
11/6

Email the Lab Coordinator, Mr. Roger Monger, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let him know you are coming.  

We look forward to meeting you!

The JMU AFV is pround to announce that we recently won a $19,500 Grant from the University/National Parks Energy Partnership Program (UNPEPP), allowing us to partner with Shenandoah National Park to convert a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck to full plug-in battery electric.  The primary focus of this project will be the implementation study and how the vehicle is accepted in the park from both the staff and the visitors' perspectives. 

Please keep visiting the project's page (Click Here) to see it's progress!

 A special thank you to the UNPEPP program for this terrific opportunity!
