"Range is clearly something the manufactures are thinking about. Over time, you’ll see endurance racing on electric power. But for the time being, we like that our product fits in an hour broadcast window. The media companies like that it is a bit of a tighter experience, the fans like it.""We’ve decided to go with speed and nimble as opposed to distance," Reigle said."In simple terms, the weight difference all comes down to the battery.

They're gone over 500 miles on a charge," Reigle said."So you know, but they've got a pretty big battery underneath the whole car there to do. "No, we're not plateauing at all," he said."I think what you're gonna see in the next 10 years is that battery technology is just going to get better and better.
