• Engineer a strong battery lifespan

• EV Efficiency is as important as mass, downforce, drag, power, and mu.

• Create tools for drivers to manage energy

• Add regenerative braking later

Doing research, reverse engineering, setting design targets. Additional insight for teams thinking about making the EV transition.

To manage priorities, ask four questions about every design decision, in this order: 1. Is it legal or illegal? 2. How does the change affect reliability or repeatability? 3. How does the change affect overall vehicle performance over a lap? 4. What are the drivability effects?

The very best drivers can go up to but not over the maximum lateral capability during braking and corner entry. As they smoothly come off the brakes, the lateral limit increases due to both the friction circle, and more balanced loads front/rear.
