Formula E unveils most powerful Gen3 car Formula E have unveiled the new Gen3 car that will race in the 2022-23 season.
It is billed as the fastest, lightest and most powerful Formula E machine yet, and the most efficient and first net-zero carbon racing car ever. It will be a new net carbon zero car set to compete in the next season.
Key features of Formula E's Gen 3 car
- Fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed over 322kph / 200mph.
- Most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking.
- Around 95% power efficiency from an electric motor delivering up to 350kW of power (470BHP), compared to approximately 40% for an internal combustion engine.
- First-ever formula car with both front and rear powertrains. A new front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capability of the current Gen2 to a total of 600kW.
- Ultra-high speed charging capability of 600kW for additional energy during a race, almost double the power of the most advanced commercial chargers in the world.
- The first formula car that will not feature rear hydraulic brakes, with the addition of the front powertrain and its regenerative capability.
Since my company supplies equipment in EV and battery manufacturing industries, I am excited to see this new generation of electric race cars, battery & charging technology. |
