Indy 500 in an Electric Vehicle?

Indy 500 in an Electric Vehicle?:

Twelve hours to complete the Indy 500? While that’s not earth-shattering, it’s a momentous moment…for electric vehicles anyway. In attempt to show the viability of electric vehicles, Roger Yasukawa, 5-time Indy 500 competitor, drove a Mitsubishi i at the inaugural EV500 event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Organized by Contour Hardening, the EV500 serves to test the potential of their Real Power Mobile Level 3 Quick Charge station. With only two Mitsubishis (Johnny Miller is the other driver) and speeds in the vicinity of 90 km/h (56 mph), it’s certainly no Brickyard barn burner. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the future where EV range angst can be quelled with short charge cycles.
