Formula E, FC1X and Gen2 all feature electric racing cars. What is the purpose of these cars? And what are their future plans? For more information, please read on. Electric racing cars had been limited in their capabilities until now. One of those was the limited number of batteries. The battery capacity was not sufficient to last the race so drivers had to switch to another vehicle.
Formula E
The single-seat electric racing series is called the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The idea was hatched in Paris in 2011 by FIA president Jean Todt and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag, current chairman of Formula E Holdings. Agag has since gone on to become one of the world's most influential car enthusiasts. 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 is an electric car and can go from 0-60 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 electric racing cars were unveiled in 2018 and are expected to be in use through 2022. They boast twice the energy storage capability of their predecessors. They can also run 45-minute races, without any need for mid-race car swaps. These electric cars boast 250kW of power. They can accelerate from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour in 2.8 seconds. They can travel up to 280 km/h at speeds of around 260 km/h.
Le Mans 24 hours electric car
The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, which produces the famous 24-hour endurance race, has partnered with TotalEnergies to develop an electric Le Mans 24 hours racing car. The biofuel can be 100% renewable and helps reduce CO2 emissions. The first and most challenging race in the world is an opportunity for innovation and motorsports to be showcased. But, it's important to keep in mind that current rules don’t allow an electric vehicle to compete for 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. The all-electric van is benchmarked against cars such as Tesla Model S and Ferrari. Bernard Tse was a former Tesla executive who founded Atieva. Tse was the head of the company's energy division at the time of Tse's departure. In 2015, this division was relaunched.
BMW
Established automakers are faced with difficult decisions as the automotive industry moves towards electric vehicles. It can take between four and five years to develop a new model, which includes designing, equipping, organizing, and operating the factory network. Auto executives can make billion-dollar bets about future trends and technology. One recent proposal by the Biden administration aimed to improve charging stations by requiring them to be accessible within 50 miles of a driver's home.

Nissan
We have seen the Ariya single-seater design before. But, this latest Nissan concept car is a testament to its ambitions to develop an electric racing car. According to the company, future models will be influenced by Ariya's design. 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.
