Nice article.

While most of our focus has been on battery development, I found this quote interesting about motors:

"The gains to be found" with electric racing, says Whittamore, "are huge, and quite unusual for motorsport." To illustrate, he tells me that the original 2012 Mugen electric motor was twice as heavy as the current one and provided only 60 percent of the power.
