Sylvain Filippi, General Manager of Fomula E Envision Racing, made a statement that will resonate all over the world. He said that in the near future, steps will be taken to switch to vehicles with fully electric motors in Formula 1 races.
Fernando Alonso will sell electric bikes!
Owned by two-time Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, Kimoa will introduce its electric bike model at the 2022 Formula 1 Miami GP.
Formula 1 cars will be electric by 2035!
Electric cars have started to take more place in our lives now. Even in Turkey, which is among the countries that are slow in electricity conversion, the number of charging stations is increasing day by day. In addition, manufacturers also bring their new electric models to our country.
But the revolution of internal combustion engines will not close as early as thought. Automakers all over the world have announced that they will end the production of internal combustion vehicles in the near future and will return to vehicles produced entirely on electric infrastructure.
In fact, if we give an average date, by 2030, the largest automakers will only produce electric vehicles. But if we consider that the life of internal combustion vehicles is at least 20 years, they will not be out of our lives until the years 2050-2060. Moreover, even if this change is completed in passenger vehicles, it is obvious that millions of people used in transportation such as trucks and trucks will complete this change late.
For this reason, there is a large audience who object to the conversion of Formula 1 races to fully electric vehicles. But the plans will not be implemented immediately. In fact, according to Sylvain Filippi, General Manager of Fomula E Envision Racing, there will be a transition period until 2035. But let’s also mention that he said that a step can be taken much earlier than this given date.
We can say that this is actually a positive development, not a negative one. Because Formula racing has always been a place where the limits of known cars and technologies used are pushed and new ideas emerge. Therefore, it can make a great contribution to the electric car transformation of the whole world.
In addition, even the vehicles with the best internal combustion engine used in Formula races can only accelerate to 375 km/h. They can only do this on the Monza circuit in Italy. However, we can say that this threshold will be broken quite easily with its electric conversion.
