As the Formula E World Championships come to an end we’re taking a look at the tech behind the racecars, and how it’s being applied to everyday EVs.
We spoke with Envision Racing, who have teamed up with data company Genpact, to speed up their processes, and help the team become even more sustainable. Managing Director of Envision Racing Sylvain Filippi discusses how the cars are always improving, and how the tech they use is later applied in everyday EVs we see on the roads. Race driver Nick Cassidy, describes what it’s like to drive a Formula E car, and how the race series continues to develop.
