This last point is the most important of all - we, as a humanity, can make a larger positive impact on environment by changing our habits than any switch to electric or other propulsion using...

Francis, Audi’s Dakar racer is marketed as an electric car (as mknight pointed) with combustion engine range extender, though I agree there is a strong indication it is a thinly disguised combustion...

Steve, F1 sacrifice a bit of energy density in order to obtain huge power densities - as I have mentioned previously the F1 battery cells can be safely charged/discharged in less than a minute....
