” And, on the oval they will be able to sling shot out of the turns leaving gas fueled cars in the dust.”

Maybe on a short track, but on an intermediate or superspeedway the cars don’t really slow down much. OTOH, what you describe above would be a definite advantage on a road course.

To have any reasonable range, you’ll need a lot of heavy batteries. Which means either rock hard tires or frequent changes.

Don’t those Formula E cars weight about 30% more than a similar Formula 1 car?

You need to watch NASCAR. Xfinity. on Saturdays, Cup Series on Sundays.
