NASCAR unveils electric vehicle prototype amid skepticism from former driver Kevin Harvick and other traditionalists.
NASCAR recently unveiled a 1,300-horsepower electric vehicle prototype. The reveal, which took place at the Chicago street circuit, marks a significant step toward potentially revolutionizing a sport traditionally powered by combustion engines. The prototype features a crossover-style body using flax-based fiber composite and includes a design reminiscent of 2010 NASCAR models.However, this bold move has not been met with universal applause.
On his podcast, 'Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour,' Harvick shared his doubts about the viability and excitement of electric racing, stating, as quoted by Planet F1:'I really think that the EV push came from the manufacturers and NASCAR started this project, and the EVs aren't doing as well as what they were when this project started.
