NASCAR recently unveiled its EV racecar prototype at the Chicago Street Race event, marking a significant milestone after two years of development. The project is part of NASCAR IMPACT, a broader initiative to drive improvements in vehicle electrification and charging capabilities within the stock car industry. The EV racecar, a crossover utility vehicle, is powered by a 78-kWh liquid-cooled battery and features regenerative braking technology. The partnership with ABB aims to promote energy transition and educate fans about electric vehicles, potentially expanding into hydrogen-fueled engines and hybrid technology in the future. In addition to their focus on EVs, NASCAR is committed to offsetting their carbon footprint by exploring hydrogen propulsion, regenerative braking, and environmentally friendly materials. The long-term goals include achieving net-zero operating emissions by 2035 and transitioning to 100 percent renewable electricity at all racetracks by 2028, alongside waste diversion efforts and the installation of EV charging stations. Furthermore, NASCAR is inspired by developments in alternative energy in the Super Taikyu Series in Japan, where manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Mazda are experimenting with hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, alternative bio-fuel engines, and carbon-neutral fuel vehicles. NASCAR's exploration of hydrogen propulsion comes as federal regulators push for the automotive industry to transition to electric vehicles, highlighting the importance of diversifying carbon reduction solutions for a sustainable future.
