That's one hell of a claim. 24 Hours of Le Mans was this month. How long until that's even feasible to complete in a BEV?
Additionally, Goodwood has a 150mph speed limit, so the pinnacle of petrol cars can't even attempt it.
- nomel 4y agoTo be fair, the petrol cars refuel every 45 minutes or so. I don't think a battery could make it this far (especially if they were swappable), but I imagine periodic battery swaps would be feasible.
- imiric 4y agoI imagine that eventually batteries could be recharged wirelessly, just by driving on certain patches of road, ala F-Zero. :) We'll probably get there even for road vehicles in the next few decades.
- nomel 4y agoThat would be incredibly inefficient, with any sort of road clearance, and incredibly expensive. I don't think it would ever make sense to put that much copper down into the road, unless it's to power something like a third rail.
