Formula E, FC1X and Gen2 all feature electric racing cars. What do these cars look like and what can we expect to see from them in the future. Read on for more information. Until now, electric racing cars were limited by a few issues. One issue was the limited availability of batteries. The battery capacity was not sufficient to last the race so drivers had to switch to another vehicle.
Formula E
The name of the electric racing series is ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Jean Todt, the FIA president, and Alejandro Agag (the current chairman of Formula E Holdings), came up with the idea in Paris in 2011. Agag is now one of the most prominent car enthusiasts in the world. In the years since, the competition has grown to be one of the most popular and lucrative racing series in motorsport.
FC1-X
Phoenix will present two electric racing cars this weekend: the FC1X rallycross car and RX2e FC1X. The FC1X will accelerate from 0-to-60 in 1.5 seconds. The FC1-X also boasts a 1000 horsepower power output, which was a first for an electrical race car. The FC1X series is future-proofed, and Olsbergs MSE has been involved in both design and production.
Gen2
The first Gen2 racing cars for electric vehicles were revealed in 2018. They will continue to be available through 2022. They can race for 45 minutes with no need to swap cars and have double the energy storage. These electric cars can reach speeds of up to 250kW and can run from 0-60 kilometers per hour in under 2.8 seconds. They can reach speeds of 280 km/h and have an impressive 0-100 km/h time.
Le Mans 24 hours electric car
Automobile Club de l'Ouest (the famous 24-hour endurance race) has partnered up with TotalEnergies to design an electric Le Mans 24 hours racing vehicle. The biofuel, which is 100% renewable, helps to reduce CO2 emission. This is the best opportunity to show off the latest innovations in motorsports and innovation. It is important to remember that electric cars are not allowed to compete in Le Mans.
Atieva
Atieva's quest to revolutionize electric vehicle racing has led to the creation of a prototype powertrain for its van called Edna. This all-electric van has been compared to cars like the Tesla Model S or Ferrari. Bernard Tse (ex-Tesla executive) founded Atieva. Tse helmed the company's brief-lived energy division when Tse left. This division was relaunched in 2015.
BMW
Automotive industry shifting towards more electric vehicles presents challenges to established automakers. It can take between four and five years to develop a new model, which includes designing, equipping, organizing, and operating the factory network. Automobile executives are able to make billion-dollar wagers on the future of technology and trends. The Biden administration proposed a recent plan to improve charging stations, requiring that they be within 50 miles from a driver's residence.
Nissan
Although we have seen the Ariya single-seater car concept before, Nissan's latest concept vehicle exemplifies their ambitions to create an electric racing car. According to Nissan, the Ariya's design will have an impact on future models. Nissan revealed that it intends to create 23 electrified cars by 2030. It also stated that 15 of those vehicles will be electrically powered. Nissan unveiled concept roadsters this week that show how it intends to transition to an electric car lineup.
QEV Technologies
QEV Technologies, an electric mobility company, has established a strong presence within the motorsport industry. The company has a strong track record in motorsport including Formula E and FIA World Touring Car Championship. It also has experience in developing electric drivetrains that can be used on buses and cars. The company is active in Formula E and has collaborated with the NIO 333 Formula E Team. Its electric car won the Drivers title in season 1.
