Auto Racing Test Drives Its Own EV Future

Cars That Think

Björn Föerster, Porsche A remorseless stopwatch comparison of Formula E—the current state-of-the-art in racing EVs—vs. F1 doesn’t flatter the battery brigade. Over a 25-minute race, that’s 50 kWh of energy capture, which nearly matches the total 60 kWh of usable battery power in a buffered, 80- kWh pack.
