If Duracell is sponsoring FE they better put the person in charge of the battery in a bunny suit.
Williams: thanks for the great idea !
Energizer is the company with the bunny mascot. not duracell
@@castlemaine7374 Energizer's mascot is a battery-man, please check it out before commenting
@@castlemaine7374In the USA and Canada yes. They use the Duracell Bunny everywhere else.
@@8jof544Williams actually make the batteries, although technically the engineering company is no longer related to the racing company
Thank God Ferrari isn’t in FE, or else another MarinaBay Massa Pitstop would happen again 💀💀
Electrifying 😅
Imagine the car dragging a bunch of lithium ion batteries along the pit lane
Tesla fires be like :
Massa incident was in Singapore 😅
@@leomathieu Marina Bay is literally in Singapore where the grand prix takes place. The tracks name is Marina Bay Street Circuit

No way there gonna set jos Verstappen on fire again
Edit: mom I'm youtube famous
Pity.
He'd probably punch the fire out
Like there's no such thing as electrical fires
@@ViperZero523There is, look how many electric cars are burning to pieces on the streets
@@f1_fan. Not to mention it's a shock hazard waiting to happen, poor grounding is a thing especially if the 1 in a million chance it gets struck by lightning
In reality it’s just firing hundreds of AAs in and pushing the used ones out
Visualized and laughed as the bunny's just rolled to and fro.
Most likely just a large capacitor that can take a large amount of electricity then disperse it slowly over the course of a few laps back to the battery pack
@@limbeboy7They're directly charging the battery
@@serbianspaceforce6873 how do you know that? Can you see the internal components?
At least that would be more exciting
I don’t watch formula E but I’m all for this sort of thing to help with innovation for the automotive industry as a whole
Silly roob
Start watching. Its cheap and fun. And tho on small tracks - they are very quik.
It’s honestly one of the more fun series out there imo. Mainly because all the circuits are tight and it’s close racing the whole time. I just didn’t like a lot of the dumb gimmicks like fan boost but it’s gotten way better from where it started.
It doesn't. On a related note, "All electric future" is a tax scam.
Fast charging the batteries like this will probably kill them in about 3 races.
I would like to see a full blown FE race at spa with no modifications just a pure race track
Go watch the Mexican FE race. It's on the same circuit as F1, it's pretty interesting
@@caesar485not really tho. The layout is completely different
The circuits being far too narrow for proper racing kept me from enjoying FE. It’s been a bit since I checked it out though so I’ll look into it again.
The races at monaco have been on the regular F1 track. The racing is absolutely awesome! There are multiple lead changes and tons of passing due to how much smaller the FE cars are.
You'd only get 7 laps out of it with pretty severe energy saving
There is your 1%. Now go get them!
Its actually ~13%. They charge the 39kwh battery with 600kw for 30s
@@_Dibbler_Just out of curiosity for the consumer car market,how many times could you charge a battery like this before it degrades significantly? I know the Hyundai ioniq 5 has up to 800kwh functionality but surely they’re only expecting to use that once or twice a year.
@@_Dibbler_600kW how the fuck ??
@@simonekingero9357it actually has 800V charging (very different). Unsure of its actual max rate but imagine it's no higher than 350KW (if you can find a charger that outputs that much)
@@simonekingero9357none at first, formula 1 and formula E are more something of innovation drivers than consumer tech companies
When i need to take a dump but my phone is at 2%
That is so fucking accurate
Underrated comment
There’s that guy standing over you with the cables too, just super charging your phone 😂
65 Watt charging baby! I can hold it off 5 minutes.
Charging a 52kWh battery at 600kW means 100% charge in 312s. If there's a minimum stop time, then a fumble of 3s could cost 1% of capacity - which could become crucial at the end of the race
How does the battery take that hit? All of mine would combust in less than 15 sec. 19,24Wh with 1.3 Ah Capacity would mean 22.133Wh of charging 15,4V with 1437A
@@aaZ_Georg133 easy. You design the chemistry to allow much faster charging.
Generally, batteries are a 3 way thing.
Charge rate.
Capacity.
Discharge rate.
Pick 2.
that’s theoretical, in reality it will not charge at 600kW all the way to 100% or the battery would combust.
Not sure what voltage they run at, but easiest route to faster charging is higher voltage. Same watt-hour rating but less amps = shorter charging time.
Just hook that cable up straight to a 700k volt turbine and do it in ten seconds.
@@kstricl you are a confident, dumb guy
Racing and watching a device charge are both very exciting. Hard to choose a favourite.
It's like watching them refuel the F1 car back in the day.
Will you people ever shut up? So many people complain about refueling being banned in F1 on the daily, then we get some sort of refueling in another open-cockpit category and you're *still* complaining
@@juanin200 i don't follow motor sports, but whilst refuelling in itself is dull, it can add drama to the race. I'm all for it!
@@juanin200This is nowhere near refueling, this is like watching your phone charging 😂
@martykay1077 all you see in both is someone plugging something in. So it's the exact same
F1: Refuelling is bad for the sport!
WEC, IndyCar, and now FE: Are we look like a joke to you?
it is if you trying to do pitstops as fast as f1 since its more likely a mechanic will cut some corner in term of safety to get the stop done faster
@@priyam352 Mechanics cutting corner is not a new issue, even in WEC/ELMS where the pit equipment were spec. It's always been part of the game that what you do during pitstoo could be crucial to the race itself that they knew what they doing and the limit they should reach.
It's the idea of refuelling as "Dangerous" that baffles me as if the rule makers hasn't thought of safety measures to put in. Liberty Media and FIA are moving more towards spec/homologated parts as a cost cutting measures. It wasn't long until F1 became "FIA IndyCar world Championship" or something on the line and by then people would become accustomed to. That's why the debate of "Spec parts kills the sport" is irrelevant today.
Also, look how F1 today sells their sports by throwing the "Drama" such as Drive To Survive as opposed to selling the technology of the car that teams like Williams accustomed to back in the days.
I think I just had a seizure trying to read your comment.
@@savagespud8038 elighten me for that
Yes, compared to F1 they do look like a joke.
Refuel mean the race gonna have lot of different strategy, mean more exciting
Why not just use a replaceable battery instead of supercharging? Pull it out, put a new one in. Make three different sizes with different weights.
humans aren't on the replacing battery tech tree. Fast-charging is more important for tech advancement then replacing batteries like it's the '90s and your using a gameboy.
Renault actually thinking about equipping their service dealer with fast battery replacement feature back in 2009. Looks like it doesn't gain much traction from there.
Formula 1/E is all about pushing technology. Create a rule set in favor of advanced technology forcing teams to engineer new technologies that'll eventually trickle down to general public. Some examples that were first created in F1 are V shaped engines, turbochargers, anti-lock brakes, carbon fiber, carbon brake disks, steering wheel buttons, energy recovery systems and hybrid technology. All created by teams in formula 1 that eventually trickled down to car manufacturers thats using them now in every day cars. This quick charging forces teams to create and engineer the best way to quick charge. Every team will have their own approach to it and it'll naturally test itself out. Whoever design's fail will be trashed and the one that works best will be used and fine tuned. Once its "perfected" then the technology (and manufacturing of the parts/system) will then trickle down to other race leagues and then road car manufacturers.
@@mugshotmarley The V shaped engine and turbo chargers predate formula 1 by decades, carbon disk brakes were first introduced in sports car racing not formula 1, anything else you want to pretend to be an expert in.
Unfortunately in Formula E there is an OEM manufacture for power units. Every team will have the same system, and there won't be a competition between teams to design better system. But other than that I agree with your comment
I think the proposed battery change in a pitstop makes real sense. It will force the battery makers to make the batteries smaller and more portable.
PS. The guy holding the charging jack into the car for dear life - like it is going to spring back out and spill electrons all over the pitlane!
Renault tried doing that at their dealerships back in 2009, didn't catch on for various reasons, one of which is the Battery is part of the Chassis, you take the battery out and the car legitimately falls apart
@@Meadowllandergood point in that it would need to not be like that. Meaning even more weight and less space for batteries if we want to make them replaceable.
If the plug is not connected right, the electrical resistance between the "car" and "charger" will increase, wich means an increase in temperature, wich is not good and can cause a fire.
I commend that orange guy for his good work of basically preventing a loose electrical connection, that, believe me, is very dangerous at these power ranges.
@@Meadowllander It can be done though. This is Nio's bread and butter with their commercial cars, so I'm sure they could find a way to make it work with their FE cars.
@@Meadowllander Tesla tried it in 2013 too with a fully automated device that could swap a Model S's battery in under 4 minutes and even did it live on stage in a press release. They ended up sidelining it after building the first swap station because consumers didn't want swappable batteries once they started falsely assuming they might get a bad battery randomly that someone else abused.
Lithium fire's boutta be the new age of entertainment
In 10 years of the sport they've had 1 fire. Literally like 5 weeks ago due to the circuit organizers not handling them properly....
Lithium fires are only an issue when professionals aren't handling the car, thus why you never take an EV to a Body shop, you take it to a Dealer
@@Meadowllander the thing is, cars are precisely not for professionals. 10% of people are idiots and won't handle them properly
Official data from fire agencies and governments in multiple countries (Sweden, Norway, Australia, US) say EVs are anywhere from 20-80x less likely to catch fire than gasoline cars.
@@swecreations Which gas cars are they comparing them to, though ? Modern ones don't catch fire anymore, even less spontaneously
Don't worry, with the ammount of fracking required to source lithium for all the new EVs we will run out of planet so quickly these batteries won't even get a chance to catch on fire
for added realism you need someone in a petrol SUV parked in your charge bay during the race
:-)
ahh again with the karens in big suvs that dont know how to park
I had the chance to see this live yesterday. While they didn’t practice full pit stops with this element included, it looked pretty cool.
You know this is opening the door to have EV complete in WEC stage. It turely will be a game Changing decision
How long did it take?
@@iaminsanity2238 I think around 20 seconds if I remember correctly
@@juandiegoprado Shit, i hope that tech ends up trickling down to consumer evs
@@juandiegopradoThat its full pit stop, currently there isnt, they will stop only to charge
That McLaren livery kicks ass. I hope they're putting it on the F1 car
It’s cool but I miss the one that they did in the ‘90s in Formula 1
This is why racing is so important. Even if it’s a long time in pitstop terms, can you imagine if street EVs charged this fast? It would be a gamechanger.
This will be great. Adds new depth to the strategy
Indeed. Try to sit in the pits for less time then the other guy. New strategy indeed
There will be minimum time you have to sit. @@kyleosbun
@@kyleosbun refueling/recharging still exists in multiple Motorsports and used to be in F1, so what is your point?
It's big and black with two round handles, inserted into the backside of an FE car, making them come to a full charge in a few minutes.
USB Type D is gonna be revolutionary.
We need to get that branding to the USB Forum
a job for a guy who always inserts the USB properly the first time
45 minute pitstops, just what the sports need
20 secs, a bit slower than f1 pit stops when they had refuelling
Why not a quick cell change stop? It preserves the total usability life of batteries and allow races to run longer
Battery is moulded to the chassis for weight distribution and size. It would be like trying to hot swap an ipad battery.
Innovation, the step down tech will enable you quick charge EV's
Faster charging does not reduce usable life of batteries, heat caused by faster charging does. Heat management is what matters
@@steviegbcool both designs should be improved then
@@edyeddy5395 why not just hot swap EV batteries
F1: yeah no we are not gonna do refueling now go suck it.
FE: Yeah sure no problem here u go 600kw charging pit stops 😎⚡️😎
The rule in F1 is there to make cars more efficient.
The rule in FE is their to make cars charge faster, because electric motors are already very efficient.
@@DamindeaterI think the rule is in F1 for safety. There were some nasty fires in the pits.
@@alanjm1234 It is a combination of both. The power output of the current generation of F1 engines is not limited mechanically, but by a fuel flow rate of 100 kg/h. From 2026, it will be even more limited at 70 kg for the whole race.
@@Dqtubeyeah the 2026 F1 regulations are a joke. at least on the engine side. but hey maybe the aerodynamics will be alot better so the less drag will make the cars more efficient
Thats gotta be atleast a 2.4A 25w fast charger there!
This is why I love the Formula series.
Looks dope
Hopefully they develop something new here, and also give this type of racing more media attention..
That is the way forward
Refueling is back! 😎
I don’t like the fact they charge it they could use two pit members to hot swap batteries and call it good
Swapping the battery is a piece of cake. But this will make the tech better. Just remember, electric cars aren't perfect yet, and Formula E will push innovation.
Damn, that's the most badass CCS 2 plug I've ever seen!
I start watching FE once they drive on real track lay outs, not poverty gokart track layouts.
So you can watch Monaco because they use the same track as F1, sure, as long as it's not poor for you too.
portland
Mexico City, Portland, Valencia, Puebla, and Monaco have left the chat
This is the sort of competitive development that is going to lead to innovation in our daily lives.
Im surprised the dont just switch out the whole battery, just poop out the old battery and put in the new.
The battery is massive. It's not like popping out a couple AAs from your remote.
@@shadowgattlerthey can do It, but that tech its for put It at normal Cars, whatever its devoloped there It will be pushed to normal cars
If they manage to successfully develop this fast charging, it might open the gate to formula E racing at normal circuits. Which would really help boost the sport into mainstream.
Formula E really creates new innovative ways to start fires.
F1 started it. FE electrified it. Jos Verstappen would be both electrocuted and cremated at the same time.
LOL the only time FE ever had a race effecting fire. The battery was taken out of the car and being worked on. The amount of fear mongering to brand electric cars as fire prone is just absurd lies.
@@Neojhun I wouldn't call them absurd lies unless you work for Tesla. I've had friends houses burn from lithium ion packs. Maybe it's not bad enough that you need to constantly worry about it but it's certainly an issue. Not to mention the recent string of battery fires caused by water intrusion. It's not like an ICE fire where you go pour water on it and be done with it.
Why not just pull out the empty battery and put in a full one, just like tyres?
Can’t wait to see how they will put the fire out one day 😂
😵
They've literally only had 1 fire and it was the Buildings old wiring not the batteries itself
10:10 the shortcut is where the railway line is used to be. Seem like it's barely visible now. In Street View (Oct 2020) it is clearly visible.
They need to run 1MW generators for each team to get enough charging power. Obviously these generators need diesel or gas to run.
Or hydrogen - we have a hydrogen generator powering a series of chargers and a rapid charger at work as an experiment 😛
@@PH8592 Hydrogen doesn't grow on trees though, and also needs lots of electricity to be produced in the first place. Green hydrogen is a myth as long as the energy mix is mostly made up by fossil fuels.
Or just collect charge before the race with renewable sources into a battery
@@MidnightAmethystdelusional
We must keep the green angel going, the great green scam.
A swappable battery would be cool
Swapping the battery is a piece of cake. But this will make the tech better. Just remember, electric cars aren't perfect yet, and Formula E will push innovation.
Excuse me for my skepticism, but... How will this affect the battery life? As it is already known that fast charging on smartphones reduces the battery life faster. And here we see the same thing, but on the scale of the whole car. And no matter how Formula E, electric cars (Tesla and others) are progressing, it is important to understand that the process of creating and even more so disposing of the battery is not an environmentally friendly process at all. There is such fierce dirt and eco-pollution...
I would imagine that after a few races they replace the battery so that might not be a problem like with phones and other things. But I have no clue but I would imagine they do get replaced.
Formula e uses a massive amount of regeneration anyway that would be equivalent to maybe half fast charge of wear per race, these batteries aren't expected to do 100s of recharges like road cars anyway
@@thatcodguy1237 The question is not that they will put a new accumulator. The question is, how is the old one disposed of and how environmentally friendly is it? I recommend studying this issue at your leisure. The process of recycling used batteries is not eco-friendly from the word "definitely"
@@tactic28rus I agree with that part I was mainly just saying that they shouldn't be a problem with lifespan of battery. But yeah there is an issue when it comes to the recycling of used ones and even the manufacturing process. Seen quite a bit of info on. It's one of the reasons that I'm a bit hesitant about FE. I don't believe it's entire eco friendly and mainly just to try and take advantage of the gap in the market. Although hopefully FE can help advance battery technology and make it less harmful to the environment. Sorry for poor grammar quite tired. Mainly why I didn't mention in first comment lol
Fast charging does not decrease battery life, it's the heat generated that does. Phones do not have adequate cooling like cars do
That’s actually a really cool idea and I love it, the only thing I don’t like is the promise to be carbon neutral, which is not just this company. Because unlike most people, electric energy is not 100% clean energy, it’s just pushing the pollution back. They got the power from solar, which is made with a lithium battery reservoir which was recovered in a lithium mine using equipment that’s not using 100% efficient energy (diesel). Keep trying to be carbon neutral and let me know when you figured out hydrogen, which is the actual clean energy resource if you do it right.
Minimum pit times in proper racing is wild, it makes our endurance races require a lot of strategy on the gokarts, could be neat to watch even if electric
Fire or electrocution what’s gonna happen first?
Neither, CCS is very good at preventing electrocution. Don't know of any case. FYI it's actively managed and monitored dozens of times per second.
I feel like this would add a really cool strategy element. Do you stop longer to get more energy? Or do you stop quickly and save energy later?
FIA: refueling is too dangerous to allow again in F1.
Also FIA: Yeah we know Formula E has had a few garage fires and stuff but let's add fast charging to the mix.
THEY LITERALLY HAD ONE 😭
The fire wasn't even their fualt it was an electric fire caused by the buildings wiring and improper storage
@@Meadowllander SHH! Let the Luddite have their coping moment.
I like the livery on that McLaren alot 👌
Wait till the battery blows up
Wow 10%++ charge in the short amount of time damn future technologies
To me this seems like a fire hazard
Some public charge points charge faster then this
As if they didn't think of fireproofing it 😐
refueling a car is more of a fire hazard
As opposed to pouring gasoline on hot engine, right?
Everything's a fire hazard. Don't believe me? Ask Homer Simpson. Watch him pour milk in a bowl of cereal.
Ok this is pretty cool, might have to start watching FE now
Just ban this series
Why?
@@Vibe_Master_007 From what I see in this comment section, EV = bad.
@@witherking97cos those people are dumb f1 fans that are just feluded fanboys. F1 is nothing but toxic af.
Average toxic f1 fan reply
This will change the game for EVs
Nothing is faster than speed of light, it's matter of time for batteries to charge near the speed of light ❤
i can’t wait until this series gets cancelled
Why would It be, more emotional than f1, and cheaper
Minimum stop time? If they’re all exactly the same time what is the point?
Imagine having to stop to charge your car. Dorky as fuck
Like stopping to gas up? Or stopping for new tires?
other cars literally stop for fuel aswell it's the same damn thing
@@timmynicolas8729 takes only a few seconds. That charge takes forever
Imagine having to stop to refuel your car. Dorky as fuck.
@@OmegaF77 imagine driving a car that makes no sound. Dorky as fuck
Or build a quick relase battery system and give more options to choose from
•Durability>Power
•Durability=Power
•Durability
Let me just give your battery a quick top up of fossil fuel from the grid 😂
Yeah no that's not how that works, go read up before you make comments like that
If they actually did, wouldn't you be fully supporting it then? I though you dudebros love ICE and rolling coal, then suddenly turn into snowflakes and start whinging when an EV uses coal to recharge.
Watching cars charging I think will be the thing to drag me away from watching ICE powered cars race
Can't way to see what kind of new strategies will come. Considering how packed FE races are, pit-stops will be really impactfull on the strategy.
You know, the other day my truck was on empty so i walked into my shed, pulled out a jerry can, walked to truck and dumped some in, the whole process took like 40 seconds tops and i had 350km on the clock... fast charge as much as you want the power density just cant compete yet
Why not make it swappable battery packs like add 8-10 slots of them also automate that with some docking mechanism? Done in 10-20 seconds max 💪
Surely we could have pre charged changeable batteries, like a rail system with 10kg batteries, could have different strategies with how long you want to go with a heavier car etc
I don't understand the need for this. As far as I'm aware, the FIA restricts the amount battery charge the drivers are allowed at the start of each race depending on the track they're racing on. The idea is that the drivers can't just drive flat out for the entire race, they have to use regeneration otherwise they won't have enough power to finish the race.
Let's see him drop the charger in the rain😂
Now apple just needs to add this shit to the next iPhone 🤣
Sorry! The music doesn't make this any more exciting to watch. They should make it more like real life by driving around trying to find a vacant charging point that works. And when they find one, the driver goes into the shop to get a Ginsters and a coffee.
Truly adding excitement the sport at its finest. The i-phone charging league will be the next great innovation.
what about wireless charging from the road ? Even if its not powerful enough to maintain the battery charge constant, it could make the races longer and be a great technology to eventually trickle down to road cars.
Remember when Formula E had two cars per driver and they would come into the garage and swap cars.
You know that there's no need for a guy holding the thing, right? It's not gonna leak
if it gets dislodged you get arcing, that means a ruined connector
This should be a battery swap, not a recharge - EVs need to evolve fast, efficient battery swaps and a racing league is a good way to evolve ideas, it has the world's top engineers to work on your problem for free.
This would be way better if they pitted for a “new battery 🔋 “ instead of sitting there 5mins killing the momentum of the race. It should be a swap instead of a charge
That is wonderful. It really affecting the pit strategy because the time elipse will be huge. One mistake can easily tip the scale of winning an lossing. Man, subing formula e next year
We should be battery swapping instead. Racing and public. Interchangeable packs. Pre-charged. Automated machine swaps them from below. Driving across country, pull up to the station. Drop out the discharged battery, load in a fresh. Go. Then cars would stop being trashed based on the state of their packs. (Until we find a better solution than batteries…)
Great idea! In the meantime they can do a commercially break on TV or maybe something like a halftime show like at the Super Bowl. You also can have a nap like the driver in the video. (Ok, most viewers have a nap during the „race“)
Honestly is somebody out there who really follows the formula e?
A full on battery change would've been more appropriate
It would on it would honestly be more efficient if they'd just swap out the battery and put a new one in after every pit stop
omg, a two handed racing charge cable. Such wow. Very ergonomic too.
4-hours pitstops alongside a large coal power plant dedicated for every track. What a way to push electric vehicles.
Batteries hate being charged hot and they also hate dumping power when hot.
That's what I know from the cordless tool world, which use the same cells. My batteries don't have a cooling system though. We shall see how this plays out.
You know what's wrong with that? Minimum stop time. That would make sense in an internal combustion race but EVs have two basic problems: energy density and charge times. This rule defeats a motivation to develop faster chargers. There just has to be strict and heavily enforced safety regulations specifically regarding the battery and charging system so that each team must demonstrate before a race begins that they can safely charge their battery as fast as they will during the race and if they charge faster during the race than they've demonstrated before the race began that they can safely charge a battery that is at operating temperature, they will be disqualified.
This is great innovation, this could allow for the cars to have smaller batteries since they can be charged mid race, hence it would allow teams to make lighter and faster cars. 😊🔥🔥
Good thing is not in Formula E, we don’t need another fire.
innovation in competitive races will help create better technology for the normal EV martlet.
Now we need slicks and wets so theres actual strategy
There is strategy at play already. You have to use the same set of tires for the full weekend, barring punctures/damage, so anyone who qualifies higher up is racing on worse tires. They specifically run an all-weather tire because it has benefits on the consumer side for the manufacturer.
Formula E is going to be so much fun in the future
Surely just sitting there for the charge will take longer than just not pitting
it has been nice to see how FE has evolved since 2014
I work with alot of lithium batteries running battery banks in yachts and we're always worried about amps in and amps out due to thermal issues and these guys are like ( all of the volts all of the amps ) i really hope one of these doesn't catch on fire from this
So will we see a longer race?
That driver has time to go to the bathroom and eat a burger during pit stops.
Just bring back "Car Swap" and no drivers will holding back from leading the race.
Instead of plugging it in the wall, they should have a removable extra battery that they can just switch out during a pit stop for a pre-charged one. I mean, have one fixed installed main battery and a removable one that makes up 15% of the total charge, then just switch out the removable one for 15% extra charge. That way you don't need to let the vehicle stand around for half a minute.
Must be exciting to watch, i just change battery in my rc cars, when they run low, it is much faster, than recharge on the run👍🙂
Wait till this go’s wrong in a big way!! 🔥
They’ve already had a fire in Valencia because of these charging systems!
Just one of many reasons EV’s aren’t the way forward in racing!!
The fire in Valencia was something else. Apparantly the battery that did blow up hadn't tested the fast charging yet.
Exciting that this technology is being developed. Desperately needed for electric road cars
This would be big for innovation
