Sure, Formula E teams want to win and make
money. That’s a given. The big automobile
manufacturers who fund the open-wheel
electric cars that whir around tracks all over the
world also have a bigger goal in mind: research
and development.
Brand named automakers — from BMW to
Audi to Jaguar — compete to create the best
technology for their race cars, which look like the
more popular, gas-guzzling Formula 1 racers but
are powered by rechargeable batteries. The high-
performance engineering is then used as a case
study for the development of consumer car lines.
