The vast majority of cars on the road bear no resemblance to most hillclimb cars. I don't go to see road going cars compete - even the GR Yaris is frankly quiet and boring to watch (although I am sure it is different behind the wheel). If the field was significantly comprised of EVs, I'd be elsewhere. If that makes me out of touch and a dinosaur, then so be it.
PS - I did see the Jaguar Formula E car go up Shelsley - "Scalextric on speed". I understand that formal competition had to be suspended for the period of its run up the hill. There was talk of needing thousands of gallons of water available otherwise.
