'There's not a huge amount of anxiety about that anymore,' says FormulaE series boss Jamie Reigle. 🔋👇🔋👇
With a new formula in place for the next four seasons of Formula E, Williams Advanced Engineering reclaimed the single-spec battery tender from McLaren Applied Technologies, having also produced the Gen1 battery pack.
It is understood that overheating of the cells, which can cause degradation and derating, was the key issue behind the problems. A change to the battery packaging design has thus been made to cure that. "In simple terms, the packaging in which the cells sit had some challenges, and that meant that we had to change the packaging. So that led to a delay in testing programmes," said Reigle.
"In this case, because we had some challenges with the cell packs, everyone's programmes are slightly delayed, and you've got that sliding door that is closing coming into Mexico.
