What Formula E Technology Will Actually Make It To Road Cars?

- Formula E is a laboratory for coming up with brand new innovations for cars everywhere, but you won't be driving a Formula E car to the shops anytime soon. So how does a high-speed electric powertrain eventually find its way into a road car? We went behind the scenes at Mahindra Racing's headquarters with their race driver Alexander Sims to find out how this happens, and what we should look forward to in the future of Formula E.

Gen 3 has rapid charging and regen, that's supposed to be faster than anything ever seen on the road but FIA also have an Electric GT class will supposedly have that tech and then some.
Electric GT has been touted for years, all we saw was a modified Tesla and a continually delayed season because they didn't have the money to run the series; and the races were going to be really short and on traditional purpose built racetracks. The Electric Production Car Series (It's current incarnation) has been announced by the FIA, but there is still no calendar or anything. So I'm skeptical that we'll see that fast charging in action any time soon.
Does that's mean 350KWH+?
Waiting for gen3 . That's when this car will get lighter and faster.
when will open battery competition
It's just a shame the tracks they race these cars on are so dire. It personally puts me off from following the series Hopefully in the future we will start seeing them on some proper race circuits. Oh and get rid of fan boost!
It is no problem for me if you race in street circuit, but i need proper street circuit with proper width and tarmac
Fan boost should be renamed Qualy-Boost and give it to the top three fastest drivers from qualifying.
I used to think this way but I have realised that formula e works best when it's in a city centre and racing in streets . I think this is a formula e trademark which defines it. I like the idea of racing in the centre of the city which no other series can do. I think it's great and electric cars work well in a city which makes perfect sense.
It's also a problem for the fans to watch a formula E race on a track. They have a small fanbase and forcing that fanbase and interested onlookers to pay for an entire ticket in those big circuits would kill that. Having them in cities allows the small fanbase more interaction.
I just realized this comment thread was 9 months ago...
I am solely waiting for gen 3 . Front motor generator would be great . Plus car being light is really what we need . Fast charging will be great.
What's the best estimate for the year FE will outperform F1 over, say, a 1 hour long race?
27 - 28
Maybe not outperform F1 but at F1’s level of performance. Likely when Gen 4 arrive in 2026-27
I have no issue with commuters and non-car people driving high powered golf carts. I enjoy the input, joy and satisfaction of using both hands and both feet.
Wow
I wonder what cool new tech the Gen 3 cars will have
I started watching formula e this year and watched all the races before they went to the other side of the pond! But I'm back for the season showdown after London!!!
I watched it a couple of times and realised that it is the worst motorsports class ive ever seen.
And people say F1 is boring.
@@v4skunk739 formula e is really exiting, look at the race, overtake, driver on limit, unpredictability
@@bastienhubert283 Nope its even more boring than F1.
Gen 3 adaptation sounds awesome... when are we likely to see it...
Gen3 is 22/3 season afaik
@@tcroft2165 Thanks...
I gave this sport another go but i cannot handle the amount of pointless chaos that happens. Im not a big fan of the strategic options teams have either but im always intrigued by the electric tech they have
The piston shape, combustion chamber and multiple fuel injection per chamber. Also, biofuels.
Formula E, suffers from the same disaster as F1, which are street circuits.
True, but to be fair, not all of them are bad. For example, Azerbaijan in F1.
Formula e race are great and if you watch Monaco one you will see that they don't suffer
@@josewmeldondo the new miami street circuit is interesting
@@No-le9qf looking forward to going to that one next year! Going to travel all the way from Chicago to see it! And probably the one in Texas as well later next year!
Tesla should join Formula E
Clearly not very much since all the manufacturers are leaving 😂
BMW but they will continue to provide engine, Audi and Mercedes go away but McLaren will probably join so it's like they Lost 1 manufacturer
I tried. But Formula E is SOOOOOOO boring!!! And here's the thing...Batteries are NOT the future. These cars are just Betamax machines. When will there be hydrogen or a mix of Hydrogen and Electric?
If you think Batteries are not the future, you are unfortunately going to be extremely disappointed with Hydrogren.
Hydrogen has extremely poor metrics with regards to mass rollouts and the power requirements that would cause. It is a really inefficient way to transfer energy
Future EVs will be powered by the tears of Luddites.
How could you Say it's boring look at on track action, they overtake everytime
The only application where hydrogen makes sense is lorries.
