Electric Car Racing: What You Need to Know About Formula E

As we're here in Brooklyn, checking out tons of cool electric vehicles, we're excited to announce that we've got a big race coming up and we're going to check it out. Electric car racing is happening at one of the biggest events, Formula E, which happens in multiple countries but the finale takes place here in New York and Brooklyn. There are 11 different teams with two drivers each, so you can expect to see 22 cars on the track. What's unique about these cars is that they're all exactly the same except for their design, markings, and logos, which means it's all about skill.

The drivers are the biggest variable here, as they're driving the same car but with some new equipment. This is actually the second-generation model of new cars that have improved battery life and better tires. We'll get into more details about those improvements later. Another interesting aspect of electric car racing is that it's not just a big race anymore; people come early to see the newest electric vehicles and enjoy cool lounges, great snacks, and even a gaming station for those who want to race a driver. One thing we love about coming here is being able to check out the cars at the pit lane, as this car in particular won yesterday's race. It feels like something special when you're right next to it.

Another interesting aspect of electric car racing is that pit stops are basically non-existent. We all know what traditional racing is like, but Formula E is pretty different here. With the newest batteries on Gen 2 cars, drivers can now complete an entire race on a single battery, which used to require swapping cars for the second half of the race. This new technology also means that drivers have improved tires that will last the entire race, unlike traditional pit stops where refueling and changing tires were necessary.

One thing that sets electric car racing apart from traditional racing is the special lane called "Attack Mode." With this mode, drivers can temporarily exit the race to get a boost and speed, which they can strategically plan to come out of the race early and potentially take the lead. This technology allows drivers to maximize their performance without taking any unnecessary risks.

Electric car racing also prioritizes sustainability, as Formula E powers its cars with almost zero emissions and 100% renewable fuel. They even intentionally don't provide parking for attendees to encourage public transportation use. We appreciate this attention to detail in sustainability, especially when it comes to electric vehicles.

Perhaps most surprising is how quiet the race is compared to traditional racing. While you might hear some noise from the cars, it's not as loud if you're close to the track. And what's even more impressive is that kids don't need protective gear for their ears when listening to the cars go by; overall, electric car racing provides a great experience.

As we wrap up here at the race and wait for the results, we want to give credit to all the winners of this year's Formula E. It was awesome last year, but we can't wait to see what next year has in store with these advancements. If you enjoyed this video, please don't forget to like it and subscribe.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou guys hear that the cars are just whirling what's going on guys the Traverse consumer and we are back in Brooklyn checking out formula te tons of cool electric vehicles everywhere but they've got a big race coming up and we're gonna check it out and here are five things you need to know about an electric car racing so the first thing to know an electric car racing happens in one of the biggest racing events Formula e so formally is this massive car race that happens in multiple countries but the finale happens here in New York and Brooklyn so there are 11 different teams with two drivers protein so you got 22 cars on a track and get this all of the cars are exactly the same except for of course their design and markings and logos so you know what that means it's all about skill so the drivers are the biggest variable here but the cars they're driving are really impressive and even though the drivers are all driving the same car they're actually working with some new equipment here this is the second-generation model of the new cars which have improved battery life better tires but we'll get into that in a second and the second thing is it's more than just a big race now we all come to see who's gonna win the race but people come as early as 8 a.m. to see all the biggest brands newest electric vehicles and there's even cool lounges where you get some great snacks and hang out until the race and we can't forget the gaming station for people who want to race a driver when you're here it feels like a much bigger experience than just a race and something that I love about coming down here is being able to come to the pit lane and check this out these are the cars that are actually on the racetrack this car in particular was the one who won yesterday's race so it feels like we're next to something really special here but we can see all the different teams and companies that are joined the race right here in this one spot which is a really cool experience and another thing you guys should know is pit stops are maleeni anymore with electric car races now we all have an idea of what traditional racing is like but Formula e is pretty different here they pretty much have no pit stops so with the newest batteries on the gen 2 cars they double the capacity so now a driver can complete an entire race on a single battery in the past they've needed to swap cars to complete the second half of the race but now they can do it on single one also another change is the fact that they've got improved tires and those tires will also last the entire race and those are like some of the big things that regular pit stops consisted of refueling changing tires none of that is necessary here of course unless something happened and the drivers have something new at their disposal here and that's attack mode now with attack mode drivers can go into this special lane that takes them out of the race sort of and allows them to get a boost and speed and if they're strategic about this they can plan out how they want to go out of the race and maybe get in front of someone else with that special boost and a big thing with electric racing in Formula e the sustainability so Formula eight powers their cars with pretty much zero emissions and 100% renewable fuel and they intentionally don't provide parking to attendees to encourage use of public transportation and I love the thought process here but you might have heard me mention before they even use tires that they can use throughout the entire race so that they can go ahead and recycle them right after it's electric vehicles you'd expect that attention to detail when it comes to sustainability and next up the race is more silent than you think might hear a little bit of noise coming in from the back but it's nothing compared to traditional racing you might hear the world of the car here and there but it's really not that loud if you're close to the race you can still have a regular conversation and I like the fact that kids don't need to have protective gear for their ears when the cars go by there's overall just a really nice experience and as you guys can see the race is off these guys and we'll let you know who won crazy so the race is over Congrats to all of the winners formula e 2019 was awesome but you guys want to learn more about formula e I'll have official links down below in the description I am excited to see what next year has to offer just like with tech we see all these crazy leaps and advances can't wait to see what's in store for 2020 but if you guys enjoyed this video be the cool guy or girl that give this video thumbs up I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average
