From Transport Evolved.
For as long as people have been racing vehicles, the technologies used to win races trickles down into production vehicles – and in the world of electric cars that’s no different.
Last month, we headed to the UK to meet the team at WAE Technologies, a company that spun out of the Williams race team, to find out about its long history, its pivotal role in transforming Formula E, and how the technology WAE Technologies is working on today will have a massive impact on the cars you can buy.
