Since the GRC have announced it already, I believe they will have a sort of monopoly on electric cars in rallycross. This opens up a whole new motorsport and market for electric engineering. Manufactures who are looking on electric cars for the future are probably very excited about this class. With the completely and utterly amazing timing of this announcement just days after Audi announced to focus on electric racing, I can't help but think they will have a car on the start line in 2018 in the US.
