Electric Vehicles for Sports - A Good Option?

21.02.2019: "Electric cars are the future," I think that you have come across this statement a couple of times. However, today we are not going to look at the best

"Electric cars are the future," I think that you have come across this statement a couple of times. However, today we are not going to look at the best and worst electric cars of 2019 or the debate whether an electric vehicle is right for you.




Instead, in this article we are going to take a look at the relationship between electric cars and sports. Electric cars, after all, aren’t as exciting or fast as those hybrid cars can be. You wouldn’t expect winning riding on an electric car as you would when betting online after reading a review of Pointsbet. Or, would you? It’s what we will take a look at below.



Electric Sports Cars- What Makes them a Great Bet?



Will motorsport races such as NASCAR and Formula one adapt to electric cars? Do you think this is possible and is the best option for them? Let me jog your memory a bit. If you are a fan of motorsports then am sure you remember the announcement last year that NASCAR was going to adopt electric vehicles by the year 2021.



This online report came with the news that Tesla, which is the biggest producer of electric cars, would produce a new 250-mph car. The whole internet went into a frenzy, and it led to an online debate. However, here is the catch the announcement came on April 1. Does it all make sense now? Yes, it was all an April Fools’ joke.


Although NASCAR failed to comment on the future of electric cars, they have undertaken some measures to restrict the consumption of energy. For instance, it uses 15% less ethanol that helps to reduce 20% of the harmful gases that cause the greenhouse effect.
But if you think about it if NASCAR adapts electric cars what impact they would have on the motorsports world?



Electric racing series and their impact in the sports industry.




It is the 21st century, and there is more emphasis from Millenials on saving the planet. As more industries are trying to go green, the Motorsport industry has not been left behind. Have you heard of electric motor racing? If you have not then let me introduce you to the more turbocharged engine in races. There are currently five electric race series in the world which you should be following. They are



1.    Formula E

2.    Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship's Electric Class

3.    Drone Racing League.

4.    TT Zero

5.    Electric GT Racing



The Electric racing series were adapted for environmental purposes. You know that electric cars significantly reduce the amount of fuel which is used. Moreover, if this fuel is saved maybe, it can be used for better purposes.


When you have major racing series such as NASCAR and Formulae One adapting to EVs, then the whole world might embrace them. Plus it would be a chance for more automobile manufacturers to get in the market. Let us know what you think about EV's are you for them or against them.
