Thoughts on EV Publicity

If EV’s are going to happen, one of the best ways to break through is to use them for entertainment purposes. For instance, engineering a high performance EV for NASCAR would boost the EV’s image substantially. But with current EV ranges, your high performance EV would only be high performance for about 10 miles. To account for this, you would need a solar powered battery swap station that  looks something like this...
