NASCAR is reportedly currently looking to set up its own electric racing series and a demonstration race will be held on February 5 at the 2023 Busch Clash in Los Angeles. The electric NASCAR racers will reportedly run on a 900-volt architecture and have in excess of 1,000 horsepower thanks to a trio of electric motors - we can also infer from this that the vehicles will be all-wheel drive.umm, actually, it's VERY efficient. This is the biggest reasons why EVs get the mileage they do. They turn the kinetic energy of the car back into stored electrical energy, so that's it's ready to be used again.
Now, performance cars...aka, those that people will want to use on a race track (circuit track, not a drag strip) will probably need/want capacitors vs just batteries as they will be able to handle the inrush current even better, and be better able to send it back to the motor as you come out of the turn.
You will also have regular brakes, which can be used to supplement the regenerative braking.
