Whoa. So there's a racing competition now for electric sports cars?
Formula E, officially the FIA Formula E Championship, is a class of auto racing, sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The "formula", designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants' cars must comply. Formula E is intended to be the highest class of competition for one-make, single-seat, electrically-powered racing cars.[1] The series was conceived in 2012, with the inaugural championship to be held in 2014–15.
The good thing, obviously, for events like these is the impetus granted to car companies to innovate and be more creative in pushing technologies for electric cars. We'll need that if the world is really serious in curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
