And don’t forget about our government shutting down nuclear plants. I see those power outages and grid overloading.
You can do whatever you want - or whatever the government will allow you to do. I was simply pointing out that the charging limitation in a track context is a very much current state which is already being addressed. There are already legitimate proofs of concept (see the NIO EP9 Nurburgring times for example) that being able to use EVs as track cars is feasible. And its funny how people point to weight arbitrarily. Who cares how much an EV weighs if it performs dynamically? I guess people around here forget the new M2 weighs nearly 4,000lbs. That’s a two door sportscar that weighs 4,000lbs. Guess the new M2 isn’t a track car by that logic.
