And other luxury car companies who fund
teams in traditional racing leagues are catching
on: Mercedes and Porsche will join Audi, BMW
and Jaguar on the Formula E circuit next year.
In just five years, work in the Formula E lab
has led to concrete change in consumer
electric automobiles.
Audi recently unveiled a car with an 800-
volt battery system based on technology it
developed from its Formula E team. All current
cars on the market are under 400 volts. A higher
volt count means more efficiency, less weight
and quicker charging. It also means, at a baseline
level, cheaper cars.
