Nice, but they’re going to need faster chargers than those that the general public have to use!

If they design the batteries to be swappable they may not need to worry about it.

At the kind of output we're talking, for as long as we're talking, I'm most worried about heat.

Why would they need such an amount of batteries if they were to go to the quick swap route? Is it possible to get a smaller package because there's less energy store? That's what I think should be a better idea. But it seems like they want to do the quick charge, if that's possible. This all hangs on them getting the funding to even do it, though.

Again, Perrin needs funding. Again, Perrin has another press release. Again, nothing will happen.

I'm very skeptical about Perrin nowadays. Just like (Project) Brabham.

Yeah that's why I mentioned.

But seriously, if they can't find funding for a P2 project. How do they expect to find funding for a car company (unless they'll be a glorified coachbuilder) and if rumours are true, buying/sponsoring Force India?

Mr Perrin is a dreamer. Do they live out of what? How can they monetize dreams? I want to know. We all want to know.

I like Perrin dreams. Maybe he only want to materialize the car once and probe he can make a car. An all electric car at Le Mans, very difficult to see, but I would like to know how can it be. I hope he can make it. World needs dreamers

Because quick swap batteries would have lower capacity as less of the battery mass can be dedicated to holding power.

The amount of time required of Le Mans pitstops these days could easily make swappable battery stacks viable.

And to be frank, that's the only way to make long-distance electrical cars viable.

Their joke is becoming so old.

Remember that the original plan was to have self-built LMP2 ready already by 2015, followed by self-built LMP1 in construction by 2016 and race ready by 2018. With both F1 and FE in horizon as well

The only thing that ever did materialize was the yacht for David , which is the reason he disappeared from the face of the earth soon after. Well except for couple of appearances here and there when he's been asking for additional treasuries, to fund the ever rising upkeep costs of the said yacht.

That was more a rhetorical question. Batteries can hold enough power/charge to do some good amount of laps with lmp pace but they won't go as far and recharging is out of the question to keep up with a refuel time. In order to recharge those batteries they'd probably be in the pits for quite a bit more time than regular refueling.

I agree. World needs dreamers. But how can these dreams pay their daily bills? That is my question.
