[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 16368278, member: 18779"] Highly debatable. Batteries are a chemical reaction no matter how you slice it. Until you can find two elements that are both far enough apart on the galvanic scale to be of use, AND environmentally friendly when combined, EVs will be worse for the environment when considering the total life cycle of the vehicle, including disposal. Good luck with that. That sounds like the most boring track day imaginable. The lowest possible track time doesn't always generate the greatest possible joy. For some people, enjoyment is derived from mastering a difficult skill. If you can just pick a pedal and pin it at any given time, well.......no thanks. I think EVs will have a higher ceiling than IC engine vehicles in a racing environment in the very near future. But if what you're suggesting comes to pass, I think club racing on the whole will die a quiet death. The people that drive the industry are the people with a passion for the skill, and the sensory input. Take those away, and they'll leave. [/QUOTE]
