Costurile de producție pentru mașinile electrice ar putea ajunge la paritate cu cele termice în 2025 – 2026

Costurile de producție pentru mașinile electrice ar putea ajunge la paritate cu cele termice în 2025 – 2026

Conform lui Sylvain Filippi, șef al diviziei de curse a grupului Envision, specializat în tehnologii „verzi”, în 2025 – 2026 „veți începe să vedeți paritate pe partea ofertei, în țările dezvoltate. (…) Acesta va fi punctul critic. Când se va întâmpla asta și vom putea produce aceste mașini electrice la scară, atunci porțile (n.n. – mobilității fără emisii poluante) se vor deschide”.

Buemi moves to Envision following Nissan EDAMS departure | Formula E

Sebastien Buemi will join Formula E team Envision following his departure from Nissan EDAMS. The 2015-16 Formula E champion drove for his previous team, originally known as Renault EDAMS, since the series began in 2014. During that time the 33-year-old won 13 races, took 13 pole positions and finished on the podium 29 times in 98 races. Buemi also finished runner-up on three occasions, most recently in the 2018-19 season. But his form has dipped in recent years. His most recent victory came in the first leg of the 2019 New York EPrix, and he failed to reach the podium at all in the last two seasons. He will join Envision on a multi-year and partner Nick Cassidy next year for the first season under Formula E’s ‘Gen3’ rules. “It’s an interesting time to be part of FE and I can’t wait to start driving for Envision Racing next season,” said Buemi. “I have always had a huge amount of respect for the team, and I believe they’ve done a great job in maximising results over the years. “The new Gen3 era is hugely important for the sport and presents a new challenge, with a faster, lighter and more powerful car. My objective is to fight at the front, so I’m looking forward to start testing and preparing myself ahead of the first race in Mexico City.” Envision Racing’s managing director Sylvain Filippi said the team, which finished fifth in this year’s championship, expects to compete for the titles next year. “In Sebastien we’re confident that we have one of the fastest, most experienced, and ambitious drivers on the grid, which gives us great confidence going into the new season,” he said. “We believe that alongside Nick Cassidy, we have two drivers that can help us to compete at the front of the grid and challenge for both team and driver championship titles next season.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Formula E Browse all Formula E articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net

Here's what I did in 2021

I'm not very good at reflecting on what I've done professionally. So to force myself, here's a sort of digest of some of what I did this year.

In numbers terms, I wrote 569 articles for RaceFans and 321 for The Drive, as well as placing pieces in other publications. On an estimate (from average wordcount) that's about 566,100 words. I worked on 92 races and took a relatively modest 17 flights, compared to previous years.

I interviewed a hell of a lot of people but consciously tried to skew that towards women because well. Motorsport eh.

Susie Wolff knows how to get more women into motorsport: hire them

Being LGBTQ+ in racing: 'It's a very old mentality to think sponsors wouldn't support you'

Beth Paretta is on a mission to change how women race at the Indy 500

Jamie Chadwick feels the weight of representing women in motorsport

Jessica Hawkins, once for The Drive and again for RaceFans

I asked Linda Zhang how she and her team designed the F-150 Lightning to be affordable

I spoke to Sabré Cook about being an engineer and a driver

I interviewed Lando Norris during the summer, which was funny for several reasons including the fact he was wearing his swim shorts (boy, your PR officer has a migraine) but mostly that he's great to chat to. It got published in NME (my first byline there for 17 years), The Drive and on RaceFans.

Allan McNish told me, in a very foreshadowing way, at the London Eprix why Audi was still in Formula One power unit talks and rallying legend Ian Davies told me how fitting an entire off-road racing series' gear on a single pallette has to work. And Lucas di Grassi told me what was going through his mind during his audacious London Eprix black flag penalty and Nyck de Vries shared his concerns about rivals' driving standards after winning Formula E's first world championship. And then I asked Sylvain Filippi what a racing team was doing at COP26.

I wrote the season review for electric racing in Motor Sport magazine and covered Extreme E's first round for the Independent.

In terms of racing stuff, I wrote a lot of things - a lot of it pretty time-specific analysis or news but here are some of my best features:

an early assessment of F1's 2021 rookies that, I think, turned out to ring true - although by a roundabout way for them all

how F1's power unit future is divided between teams' visions

how F1 can push the world's most efficient engine even further

how Formula E's 18-way title fight finale came about

did Honda choose the worst time to leave F1... again?

why Lucas di Grassi joined Venturi to stay in Formula E

is cryptocurrency too dirty for F1's "clean" future?

the top 10 Formula E drivers of 2021

the top 10 Formula 2 drivers of 2021

how Honda went from failed pariahs to heroics

how drivers prompted the change in F1's approach to human rights concerns

I annoyed Tesla fans by pointing out its cars don't meet their range estimates even under rigorous testing conditions and that it does not have a self-driving car let alone an autonomous sex robot from Westworld.

I spent five days fighting off starvation in hotel quarantine in earlier this year just so I could get back to a race track. I'd do it again.

2021 was a year where you couldn't escape having to acknowledge ~challenging topics. And that's the point of journalism. So I wrote about how

Formula One is shockingly racist and the testimony of the Hamilton Commission needs to be heard

Climate change is going to get worse even as we have to carry on fighting it

It's ugly that the FIA had to - and only finally did - step in to ask fans to stop racially abusing Hamilton

I looked into several things to which the answer was, categorically: NO

whether it would be a good idea to invent a very inefficient form of electric car that emits CO2

whether we should frack the hell out of the Arctic for nuclear weapons

whether we should dredge some of the most unknown parts of the Pacific for battery rocks

and some more fun experiments like

what happens if you set off 24 hand grenades under the hydrogen tank of a BMW i5

turns out yep, you can make synthetic petrol out of thin air

why cat pee might be what fuels the hydrogen future

why Korea is airlifting thousands of gallons of a human pee chemical

why Pirelli tyres kept exploding around Baku

I wrote about just so many SUVs. At the start of the year, they were completely cancelling out EVs' contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. On a (semi) positive note, it's now about equal, at the end of the year. (fuck SUVs)

In another pleasing symmetry, I wrote about the Lamborghini Countach's rebirth as an 800hp supercapacitor beastie and this low-res art car version of it.

I wrote about some stuff that was just weird like a bargain bodypart mannequin heist opportunity, BMW's weird intergenerational argument advert, what happens if you let Twitch design a car and why not put a drone helipad on your rear windshield I guess.

And some stuff that was just interesting tech like AMG's new F1-inspired hybrid powertrain, JCB using hydrogen combustion in a way that's actually interesting and might make sense: diggers, why Koenigsegg and Geely think making fuel out of volcanoes might be a viable option, how you could make an electric Jeep run underwater and what's cool about racing battery-powered hydrofoils.

I ranked Nissan's EV concepts from least to most dystopian and Stellantis' green slogans from least implying that you will cook and eat people to most. I also explained - or tried to - what the hell is wrong with us here on plague island and why people keep gluing themselves to roads.

And maybe my best piece of the whole year was about how boring old BMW has somehow tuned into the manic edge of queer hyperpop's car obsession in its design language.

I went on some test drives, with varying degrees of abject failure

1881 Trouvé Electric Tricycle

1993 Renault Twingo

Mercedes EQS

BMW iX

BMW i4 M50

And I had the most interestingly varied range of hair colours across Formula E's Unplugged. Oh and for some reason made people very angry with the factual statement that Megan Thee Stallion is millions of times more famous than Martin Brundle.

Genpact Launches 24-Hour “Melting Point” Challenge, Leveraging Technology to Help Fight Climate Change

Ahead of this weekend’s Formula E London E-Prix at the city's iconic Royal Docks and ExCel exhibition centre, Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, is enabling people around the world to join in on the fight against climate change with a new social media challenge, “Melting Point,” designed to draw attention to the realities of our warming planet and highlight the role of technology in overcoming critical global issues.

Melting Point will place a sustainably sourced three-ton ice replica of a Envision Virgin Racing Formula E car alongside the team’s race car at the Tower Bridge in Potters Field Park. The public can take part in a competition to predict the percentage of total ice melt of the replica car as it is exposed to London’s unpredictable weather over a 24-hour period.

Leveraging Genpact’s artificial intelligence-powered algorithms that have helped Envision Virgin Racing accurately predict the number of laps in a race, Genpact will provide real-time updates on the many factors that impact the melt of the ice car replica, including temperature, wind speed, rainfall, and local footfall.

“Digital innovation helps our clients around the world tackle their most complex business issues – but it doesn’t stop there. That same innovation can and must be applied to addressing the world’s most pressing social and environmental issues,” said Sanjay Srivastava, chief digital officer, Genpact. “Tackling climate change is fundamentally about large-scale transformation. And like other large transformation projects we take on, at its core this is a data and insights problem. We look to connect complex systems, work with vast amounts of data, and create insights that enable action. Whether in the boardroom, on the racetrack, or in the race against climate change, digital innovation is at the core of enabling meaningful progress.”

Informed by the algorithm’s insights, fans can race alongside Genpact’s prediction engine to make their own predictions on how quickly the ice will melt, earning chances to win grandstand tickets to a 2022 FIA Formula E World Championship race and exclusive Envision Virgin Racing merchandise. For every entry during this 24-hour period, Genpact will donate $1 to the Arctic Ice Project, a non-profit organisation that aims to slow climate change, restoring ice in the Arctic by leveraging its technical capabilities through collaborating with the world’s most prestigious laboratories and universities.

“It’s an honour to partner with Genpact on Melting Point, which will raise awareness of the detrimental impact of climate change,” said Tom Light, executive director, the Arctic Ice Project. “Our mission is to slow down the pace of climate change and buy time for our planet to transition away from a carbon economy to a more sustainable way of life. The health of the Arctic is vital to preserving the Earth’s environment.”

Genpact’s digital technology has also helped Envision Virgin Racing maintain the team’s status of being the first carbon-neutral Formula E team, making it the greenest team on the greenest grid.

“With our season heading to a nail-biting finish, where the difference between winning and losing is measured in milliseconds, the ability to drive innovation that leverages data, and turn real-time insights into action, is critical to our success. At the same time, the race against climate change is the one race we must all win,” said Sylvain Filippi, managing director and chief technology officer, Envision Virgin Racing. “Genpact has been integral to streamlining data collection to support the team’s carbon-neutral certification and together, we are taking yet another step in tackling climate change. The Melting Point challenge enables us to bring Formula E fans – who are among the most engaged, passionate, and socially conscious audiences – directly into the fight against climate change.”

The Melting Point event is certified as carbon neutral by the non-profit organization A Greener Festival, which is dedicated to improving the sustainability of events, tours, venues, and festivals. Team London Bridge will collect the melted ice water in its bowser, and it will be reused to water local community gardens.

Melting Point launches ahead of this weekend’s doubleheader races and the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, which is scheduled to be held in the city of Glasgow from 31 October to 12 November 2021 under the presidency of the United Kingdom.

The Melting Point competition opens at 5:00 p.m. BST on July 21 on Genpact’s Twitter handle (@genpact) using the hashtag #MeltingPoint. To track the progress of the ice car construction, stream the event live, and find out more about the competition, visit www.genpact.com/meltingpoint.
