Formula E’s sustainability boss sees it as a sandbox for innovation
Jaguar increased battery life in its cars after testing new software at a Formula E championship.
Julia Pallé wants electric motorsport championship Formula E to be a sandbox for large players to innovate at a “relatively small scale” before rolling out sustainable solutions to a broader audience – and she says that it’s already happening.
Formula E promotes itself as “electric entertainment at 200 miles per hour”: as the first championship for electric race cars, it aims to act as a “competitive platform to test and develop the latest in electric technology.”
