If Duracell is sponsoring FE they better put the person in charge of the battery in a bunny suit.

No way there gonna set jos Verstappen on fire again


Edit: mom I'm youtube famous

[thdwndr]

In reality it’s just firing hundreds of AAs in and pushing the used ones out

[Rebel]

Thank God Ferrari isn’t in FE, or else another MarinaBay Massa Pitstop would happen again 💀💀

I don’t watch formula E but I’m all for this sort of thing to help with innovation for the automotive industry as a whole

[WhyNotUli]

I would like to see a full blown FE race at spa with no modifications just a pure race track

When i need to take a dump but my phone is at 2%

Charging a 52kWh battery at 600kW means 100% charge in 312s. If there's a minimum stop time, then a fumble of 3s could cost 1% of capacity - which could become crucial at the end of the race

Racing and watching a device charge are both very exciting. Hard to choose a favourite.

[dimasdjorgi]

Refuel mean the race gonna have lot of different strategy, mean more exciting

[james-m-]

This is why racing is so important. Even if it’s a long time in pitstop terms, can you imagine if street EVs charged this fast? It would be a gamechanger.

I think the proposed battery change in a pitstop makes real sense. It will force the battery makers to make the batteries smaller and more portable.
PS. The guy holding the charging jack into the car for dear life - like it is going to spring back out and spill electrons all over the pitlane!

Why not just use a replaceable battery instead of supercharging? Pull it out, put a new one in. Make three different sizes with different weights.

F1: Refuelling is bad for the sport!

WEC, IndyCar, and now FE: Are we look like a joke to you?

[juandiegoprado]

I had the chance to see this live yesterday. While they didn’t practice full pit stops with this element included, it looked pretty cool.

[RookieEditsTrending]

Why dont they charge full at the beginning? It doesnt affect the weight of the car. Or does the battery just run out that quickly

[marlinderwall]

This will be great. Adds new depth to the strategy

[ChristianStout]

Why not just pull out the empty battery and put in a full one, just like tyres?

[InnerTurbulencia]

for added realism you need someone in a petrol SUV parked in your charge bay during the race

That McLaren livery kicks ass. I hope they're putting it on the F1 car
