Specs?

[edit]

How about the capacity? 40 kWh it seems? Not much for 440 kW. How long are the races? How will the cars be charged in desert areas? How long does it take?  Matthead  Discuß   22:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article, 55 kWh. The races held so far have lasted about 22 minutes. Recharging (including cooldown) takes two hours. The energy source is strange: solar to generate hydrogen, hydrogen to generate electricity; presumably some sponsorship deal from the company involved. --pmj (talk) 13:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Better source: "The pack consists of 3,600 cells, runs at 800 volts, and has a capacity of 54 kWh (40 kWh usable)." Presumably only 75% of the battery's capacity is used in order to extend its life. --pmj (talk) 13:12, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
