The EcoCAR Challenge Innovation Checklist

GM Track, Stellantis Track, Innovation Track

A working guide for capturing how your team might make a difference.

Open your checklist in Google Sheets

A page like this can't sign in to your Google account, so the workbook downloads first and a blank sheet opens in a new tab. Three steps finish the import:

  1. In the new Google Sheet, choose File → Import.
  2. Pick Upload and drop in the .xlsx file that just downloaded.
  3. Choose Replace spreadsheet and click Import data. The stage and lens dropdowns come across.
