[Allen]

Not many NASCAR fans here I believe but it is news.

It accelerates twice as fast and stops quickly but can't take the curves quite as fast due to the weight of the batteries. They claim there are no immediate plans to run electric for now.

The sounds are a big part of racing, from lumpy idle up to 9000 rpm. Can see much excitement watching silent cars go round and round.

Chrysler's answer, you think?

I guess it will be a transition thing and people will forget over time.

For Dodge the time has already come. From what I hear and read the gas powered Charger and Challenger are already gone.

Biden's dream of all electric cars is just pure B.S.! No one wants to buy one, they are not affordable and China is paying Biden big bucks!

Kinda like we used to do as children with our bicycles and a playing card to mimic the sound of a reving motorcycle.

I've tried to watch E1 which is the electric version of F1 racing. No noise ruins it. Same for the electric Rally racing, just not right.

it will be very bad news if they have a crash due to the FIRES these batteries have. The I-15 from CA to NV was closed for like a day and half because a truck tipped over carrying those batteries and the fire and toxic fumes closed the road.
It is on the web.

Of the 500,000 EV charging stations promised by Biden we are already up to 8.
