Cheers Sandy Munro and the team

Closed loop racing seems perfect for inductive charging while racing. This could mean a smaller battery to buffer the charging.

reminds me of the 1/32nd scale and 1/24th scale Revell slot cars of the 1960's. They all used the same electric motors and an adjustable chassis, but the plastic bodies were different so you could race a Ferrari, Lotus, Jaguar, etc. using the same adjustable chassis and changing the wheel sizes as needed.

Cool stuff. *Cheers*

Welcome

I can already tell that they had the Mach E and Blazer EV in mind when designing the look of the prototype.

A Nascar EV race could be either battery swap or 2 cars where one is charging the other racing.

Wireless charging tracks....

I can see the depression/hostility on that young drivers face. If I could wildly speculate I would guess he has a lot of pressure at home or within his circle of friends to have a negative feeling towards EVs

Thank you so much. Love NASCAR. Appreciate you.

With all due respect Mr Munro, but the most interesting part of this video starts at 25:23 and it last til 36:54 (😇) and I realy love Your videos. Thank You Mr Munro.

Replacable batteries is way to go maybe.

GREAT seeing Nascar going for the best tech for performance. The #NxtGenCup in Europe already prepair the young driver today and they expect electric performance when they advance their driving careers.

This will work after solid state is done for light weight, fast charging, safety and range.

Very happy to see Sandy interview David Ragan! Hearing the views of a Nascar Cup driver with wins at Daytona and Talladega was informative and got me excited and optimistic for the future (inevitable) transition of Nascar to EV racing.

I Love this channel ❤ I love to see the excitement of Sandy and Tom with new electrification technology. This is a big changing era, and America is leading the automobile EV, also in racing, like this NASCAR ABB prototype. I was waiting 40 years to see something exciting about car racing, las time was the 80's with the Renaul turbo engine for Formula1 (but BMW was the first winner in 1983 of the turbo era), also the Audi Quattro (4 wheel drive and turbo) for the Rally Championship. We are very sad to not seeing Japanese and Italian automakers in this new electrification era.

Their goal is 2035? Wow, not exactly aiming for the moon are they. Why prolong the inevitable? This has the potential to completely reinvigorate NASCAR!

Two brilliant outtakes: bring a Tesla Nascar team and mix ice with ev cars in competition! This will also accelerate the transition and ADOPTION of ev cars a lot. Very nice video, glad to see also Miss Goelectric, all you guys, having a lot of fun, thank you 🙏

Great to see !!!!!!!!!! they forgot to mention "Formula E"

They have battery swap stations in China that can swap a battery in 1 minute, you park on a rack and a tool changes it from below, then you drive off. they could easily do it the same or better.

In regards to hearing the wind around the car, you could use that audio when at Daytona or Talladega for on board shots in the race. Anybody with surround sound or even stereo could hear the draft-able air around the car.

This was an exciting video, thank you!

Interesting. Too bad Sandy does not take Tom around to those BS battery companies he visits. You know, someone who understands electricity and all.

Sandy's conchal bowl is seriously impressive.

Did I miss any discussions on: Formula e Extreme e

You can add any sound you wish...

I’m really surprised that EV racing doesn’t have hot-swappable battery packs at the pit.

that was so pre-tee… mine/ours… 🎉

Like Scalextric

The sounds that EV's make is so much more interesting than a V8. You'll be able to hear the wind and the tires, too. They aren't silent. Way more enjoyable! Lots of new fans. Do it! I like the stock car idea, too.

This technology has been driven by fat government taxpayer subsidies, bureaucrats, and climate scare cultists. The NASCAR "carbon footprint" is hardly measurable and replacing gasoline powered engines with a electric motor would be a break from tradition.
