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. For more information, please read on. The range of electric racing cars was limited until now. One issue was the limited availability of batteries. Drivers had to change cars because the batteries weren't large enough to sustain the race.
Formula E
The name of the electric racing series is 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, who has been a prominent car enthusiast around the world, is no longer a mere mortal. Since then, the competition is one of the most highly-regarded and lucrative motorsport series.
FC1-X
Phoenix will see the RX2e rallycross and FC1-X electric racing cars. The FC1-X is a pure electric car, and will be capable of 0-to-60 acceleration in just 1.5 seconds. It also boasts a thousand horsepower power output, a first for an electric race car. The FC1-X has been designed to ensure the future of the series. Olsbergs MSE is involved in both development as well as production.
Gen2
In 2018, the first Gen2 electric racing car was revealed. It is expected that they will be in operation through 2022. They feature double the energy storage capacity of their predecessors and can complete 45-minute races without mid-race car swaps. These electric cars can reach speeds of up to 250kW and can run from 0-60 kilometers per hour in under 2.8 seconds. These electric cars can travel at speeds up to 280 km/h, and they have a range of speeds between 0 and 100 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, which is 100% renewable, helps to reduce CO2 emission. The first and most challenging race in the world is an opportunity for innovation and motorsports to be showcased. However, it is important to note that the current rules don't allow for an electric car to compete in Le Mans.
Atieva
In its quest to revolutionize electric car racing, Atieva has built a prototype powertrain for its van, dubbed Edna. This all-electric van was benchmarked against Ferrari and Tesla Model S cars. Atieva was founded by former Tesla executive Bernard Tse. Tse was the head of the company's energy division at the time of Tse's departure. This division was relaunched by Tse in 2015.
BMW
The automotive industry is moving towards electric cars. This presents new challenges for established automakers. A new model's development can take up to five years.

Biden's administration recently proposed that charging stations be made available within 50 miles radius of a driver's house. This would improve their accessibility.
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 stated that it will produce 23 electrified vehicles by 2030. 15 of these will be electric.
