Electric Car Race Slated For Barcelona

We won’t see electric cars racing through the streets of Paris in June. They’ll be racing through the streets of Barcelona in October instead. The EMXGP pulled the plug, if you’ll pardon the pun, on racing in the City of Light and pushed back the race date to give teams more time to develop their cars. Mark the new date — Oct. 16 and 17 — on your calendars. eGrandPrix Spain kicks off a week of activities surrounding sustainable technological development on the road and

on the track. The idea is to show that going green doesn’t mean going slow. In addition to the eGrandPrix, there’s the Zero Carbon Transport Conference and the TTXGP electric motorcycle racing series grand finale in Albacete on Oct 23 and 24. All told we’re looking at a big stage for green racing. More info about the conference, tickets and all the rest expected soon. Stay tuned. Photo: Tesla Motors
