Electric vehicles are the future of a world that is hopefully cleaner from pollution. Several reputable car manufacturers have already confirmed they will stop producing fossil fuel vehicles. This raises the question of what will happen to Formula 1 sports in the near future?
The answer may be Formula E which has been organized since 2014. The FIA has shown a Third Generation Formula E race car with an electric motor that produces 469 horsepower and is capable of moving at speeds reaching 322 km/h. This is an increase from just 335 horsepower and 280 km/h on a second -generation car.
Electronic brakes will be applied to the rear tires which are capable of producing 40% of the energy required to race through the regeneration system. The car chassis is designed by Spark Racing Technology with recycled carbon fiber from second generation vehicles. The battery pack is supplied by Williams Advanced Engineering. Finally the tire will be supplied by Hankook with it being made from 26% recycled material.
The FIA also has plans to allow cars to be recharged quickly when doing pit stops. With this the race time will be longer like Formula 1
