"Sufficient energy to race for 20 to 25 minutes is stored in SAFT lithium-ion batteries, which take 60 to 90 minutes to recharge."
Just another marketing guy's ploy to sell more beer & gear during the race while all the fans wait for them to recharge their batteries....:rolleyes:
One thing they won't sell more of is ear protectors....imagine the exciting roar of that race!....:snore:
"Gentlemen start your engines!.....errr.....motors!!".....:shake:

So just have a 25 minute race. Problem solved. I should get paid for the knowledge I drop here.
I wonder if they will develop a quick change battery pack for them.

WRONG!.....no payment for you!!
You cant sell enough beer and gear in 25 minutes.

If their cost is similar to the DeWalt 18V quick change battery packs that I constantly have to overpay for,
then this type of racing will be more expensive than F1.
Just think of the things you can do with the expired battery pack Joe! Bet they are illegal in the landfill!:stupid:
On another note they can run the Priuis during the charging break. Maybe a demo derby if we are lucky!:flamer:

LOL...
The Prius could be the official Pace Car of the races...
except for the fact that a Toyota Prius with a 'stuck' accelerator pedal might outrun the 'race cars' and win the race!

Thats a good one! Maybe they could use Ford cruise controls so they catch on fire to destroy the evidence!!!!:eek:
