BEVs are great for hill climb (Pikes Peak record held by incredible VW BEV https://youtu.be/2K2paIN20mU https://youtu.be/2K2paIN20mU) and for low end drag racing (NEDRA in the US http://www.nedra.com/record_holders.html http://www.nedra.com/record_holders.html), but for circuit racing they are years away from being able to run more than a few laps at a time with sub formula III performance.
I'd be interested to see more hybrid racing, which would help with hybrid street R&D, but the BEV world is imo currently limited to sprint performance, not multiple lap competitive racing
