Nowhere did I suggest binning it, and I support their eventual transition into being able to leave even hybrids behind. You stated "racing EV’s would be more exciting" and I just pointed out some of the issues that currently prevent it from being more widely adopted and more popular with motorsport fans at large. Otherwise, I doubt you'll find many people to agree that a fully EV Indy 500 was comparable in impact of the event as it exists now if the vehicles could only do 2/3 of the distance with a car capable of less than half the power of the machines it's meant to replace. An F1 car outputs 1000hp, while a Formula E car can do a touch under 500hp. This isn't a knock on them, and I fully expect them to keep improving, but this is an edge case wear current EVs aren't there yet.
yeah, and I'm just suggesting, in an age of ecological collapse, perhaps it's a poor priority
