Thank you Kim enlightening us to the Formula E community.

That is so cool. Some other forms of auto racing you do some elements of this at the end of a race to save a pit stop and win but this is next level.

15C charging is insane. I would love to hear how long that pack lasts at that rate.

[krischi]

Last two races you could not have written a more exciting script. There is so much action and excitement, it is really fun to watch!

[EricEstesEleutherian]

I might actually watch these. That's cool stuff :D

[johnpoldo]

The best part about watching this race is the noise doesn’t kill your ear drums. Formula 1 is much too noisy, but some people love it.

[M-TRON]

02:32 moments that remind me why I ❤️ this channel :)

[LoanwordEggcorn]

Amazing efficiency and charging and regen.

There is the answer to all those saying that EVs are slow to charge! Give it another decade and regulator EVs we are all driving will charge in half the time as they do now, which will make a typical charge stop just as quick as a gas station stop.

Cool vid. Hope to see these kind of charging speeds make their way downstream to us. I didn’t know they had zones where they could push a button and boost the power. Reminds me of that Jason Statham movie, Death Race…too cool!

I love everything in balance, Goodyear, Michelin, Eagle F1, Pilot Sport. Great yes! Goodyear, Goodyear, Goodyear!!! 😅😅 Love 'm on my Tesla. But I love the video 😊.

Thanks for posting this video. I’m interested in advances in tire tech.

[zip-tv_]

Lucid motors was born from formula e. Thats why they have the best ev tech on the market and the longest range.

[aronandreas]

As always, love your show ❤❤❤From Norway

Charging at 15C? That's insane! I bet they last 10 charge/discharge cycles at that stress level.

[rainhall]

omg so neat to have u our on this side of the US again! I live right across the border from PIR, and I used to go to PIR with my dad to ride dirt bikes, he still has a night there every week where he races. how long were u guys out here for?

[hal]

Where the heck is Tesla, super sad they are not involved.

[rtracing]

will there be a video with Emelia Hartford? Saw a glimpse of her meeting you in this video.

[TonyMiguel-kocz]

5 minute pit stop for EV vs 2 seconds for gas car. Even 5 seconds considered slow pit stop 🛑

[Yanquetino]

Quite a challenge! I'm a pretty good hyper-miler, but aiming for zero charge remaining would make my hands sweat. I'd likely end up in the negative. You sure get around, Kim!
