Its a good look to discriminate based on false science? I'd disagree. Not to mention the company that lied and cheated how many customers and the environment now wants to pretend they care? Nope. not gonna happen. Someone needs to buy Porsche and let VW suffer their fate. Electricity doesnt come from nothing. You think VW is getting clean energy? Nope. Would LOVE to see you and Engineering explained talk this out. All these fancy technologies are cool but they are not what they claim they are are we are decades out from them being mass used. I get the whole save the earth BS but its just not real. Add into that the so called advancement of the sport is killing all of the fun. The sights and the sounds are what make it fun. I've been to the PPIHC with Electric cars and it SUCKS. They have to be equipped with a siren, most are slower then hell, theres ZERO anticipation because you dont hear anything, and it cruising by is unexciting. Yeah, theres faster cars but if you have to make a video attempting to explain electric racing as fun or convince people its the way it should go. you're killing the sport. As a driver - I know the experience is different. But no one gets to enjoy the sports if you end up killing it and then how do you plan to get any money or advertise yourself?

Why does everyone turn a blind eye to the facts of electric cars. There is tons of emissions in the whole process. No or Zero, what ever emissions terminology or catchphrase you choose. Is a flat ass lie. Diesel is currently much more efficient if you take manufacturing and operation and disposal/recycling onto consideration. The insane emissions regulations mandated in 2008 gave birth to Band-Aid solutions as effective as a 1980s air pump. The regulations were put in place to create a black eye on the superior efficiency of the biggest competition for the electric movement. Battery technology or the power supply is not green or clean or emissions free. This is a money game that will cost us the environment in the end. Starting in countries with next to no industrial environmental regulation. Where the clean batteries production and raw material refinement is taking place. We all drink from the same water and breath the same air. We might not see the effects of this right now. But a quick Google images search will show you it's not zero or no or by any means clean. But if it's what the loudest screamers say is best

Here are my thoughts on internal combustion and electric: Were heading in the right direction in two completely wrong ways. Let me explain why: every day, gas cars are getting cleaner, through bio fuels. Bio fuels are completely renewable. Like take Exxons bio fuel. Theyre using bacteria and stuff to create their fuel. (Might not being Exxon but I dont care) Second: Bio fuels are FAR better than electric cars, and heres why. It takes a whack ton to create their batteries. I would much prefer have engine noise and a small amount of pollution through cats than go mining for metals and non renewable resources. Leave a like on this comment if you agree. Just some food for thought. Gas will always win.

Im sure huge orginizations like fia know about statements like this far earlier then us normal people. fia stated that they will have carbon neutral future and im sure that this should reasure us that theyere not going anywhere. formula 1 is to big of a sport in my opinion to be killed. I mean teams dont put millions and millions of dollars into research just for the upcoming year, they plan so much ahead and I doubt theyll be willing to throw that all away. Even if honda were to leave the sport which is a long shot guessing by how well theyve done the last season. whos to say someone else wouldnt take there place. BMW can always come back ect.

I think these sound like pretty lofy goals for electrik. Here in Norway electrik has become pretty popular in the last deskade for one reason, they'r economic. Combustion engines have been hevely taxed for several deckades, while electrik has not, causing a Tesla to cost no more then a well equiped E-class with a bigger engine. Gas is expensive, hydro electrick is cheap. El cars used to get free parking and they can ride in the busslane. Al these bennefitts and a lot off new gas and diesel cars are still being sold. Electrick is comming but is no more invironmentale friendly then where you get your electrisety from

I am not fond of electric motors. Internal combustion engines are more realistic. Imagine when in the future, there are only electric cars. Taking them to the mechanic will be more expensive. I'm a person that does all the work on my own car, and I imagine manufactures are going to make it to where we can't even tamper with the components in an electric car, or make it extremely difficult for the user. They are slowly taking money away from us by making e-cars appealing. Slowly but surely they are destroying the economy. That's my opinion.

Man delete this. F1 could have electric powertrain already if they wanted to do so. If I want to hear RC cars going around, then I'd watch Formula E. When there is proof that we have electric cars that can go full send around Monza at 200 mph for 56 laps and doesn't need to jump from one car to another, I'll take this title seriously. Otherwise, this is the most clickbait title I have ever read and the worst thing I've wasted 11 minutes and 2 seconds of life on watching.

I don't see the point in electric cars. Like for instance any gas/diesel car doesn't put out that much pollution or not enough to justify buying a car from a car brand that will break down before it hits 50, 000 miles. Also it takes forever to charge a car like a tesla and make traveling a nightmare not to mention that most electric pumps are hooked to diesel generators or connect to the main power of a coal power plant. Am i wrong its just my speculation.

there is no way mass produced and driven electric cars are viable in the near future. Not with the current electric power infrastructure. Especially if they want to use green electricity. The Only way there would be enough power to charge all the electric cars along with all the other electricity requirements in this world would be to ramp up electricity generation using fossil fuels and/or other non-green methods. which kinda defeats the purpose, no?
