LG Magna "We Nurture Dream Trees to Create the Future of Electric Cars"

'Electric Vehicle Experience Class' Held at Incheon Cheongram Elementary School
1,300 Students Participate
Using Motors, Inverters, Converters as Teaching Tools

Employees of LG Magna e-Powertrain (LG Magna) stepped up as one-day teachers to introduce electric vehicles to elementary school students, the future leaders.

LG Magna announced on the 24th that it held an 'Electric Vehicle Experience Class' for three days starting from the 18th at Cheongram Elementary School located in Seo-gu, Incheon, where its headquarters is situated.

Amid the rapid transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles, LG Magna organized this event to help students easily understand the principles and advantages of electric vehicles, as well as to introduce LG Magna, which develops and manufactures electric vehicle components.

The event, planned by the Junior Board, a voluntary organization of LG Magna's office workers, was attended by 1,300 students from Cheongram Elementary School and received great enthusiasm.

LG Magna employees acted as one-day teachers and explained the driving principles of electric vehicles in a way that elementary students could easily understand. For example, the inverter was described as a chef who deliciously cooks the electrical energy from the battery and delivers it to the motor; the motor as an athlete who eats the electricity given by the inverter and energetically moves the car; and the battery as a warehouse that stores electricity to supply to the motor.

During the class, students were able to directly examine and experience parts used in cars, such as motors, inverters, and converters produced by LG Magna, using teaching aids. After the theoretical class, a test drive session was also provided for the students to ride electric vehicles.

An LG Magna official said, "By the 2030s, when today's elementary students become adults, many more electric vehicles will be running on the roads than now," adding, "We look forward to the day when these growing children will safely drive electric vehicles equipped with LG Magna's competitive components."
