How much power do Formula E cars have?
The original battery specifications included a 200 kg (440 lb) cell-weight limit, a 200 kW peak power limit, and a maximum usable energy of 28 kWh. For the 2018–2019 season, the specifications for the battery are a weight of 250 kg (551 pounds) and 54 kWh energy, and peak power goes up to 250 kW.
Why is Tesla not in Formula E?
In that sense, perhaps the most obvious reason Musk will not enter Formula E or some formal head-to-head race against the likes of Porsche: He doesn’t want to be in a position to potentially lose. Tesla is already synonymous with speed, whereas other EV newcomers must prove their technical bona fides.
What is faster F1 or Formula E?
The newest all-electric Formula E race cars reach maximum speeds of 280km/h, compared to top speeds reaching 397km/h for F1. Comparing their rate of acceleration, Formula E can go from 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds. F1 just pips them to the post, reaching the same speeds in an impressive 2.6 seconds.
Which is faster NASCAR or Formula 1?
Despite being powered by a V-8 engine, NASCAR vehicles average out at a top speed of just over 321 kmh (200 mph), which is quite a bit slower than the top speeds recorded in F1 and IndyCar vehicles.
How fast do Formula E cars go mph?
174 mph
Alongside the improved longevity, the maximum power output of the car has increased to 250kW – an increase of 50kW that will see the potential top speed of Formula E reach 280 km/h (174 mph).
Do Formula E teams build their own cars?
Each team is allowed to build their own electric motor-generator unit – which delivers power to the car, and recovers it back into the battery under regenerative braking, like a massively souped-up version of F1’s MGU-K.
