Just a thought. Why couldn't WRC do 1 stage per rally in full EV mode. It wouldn't bother the fans if it's just 1 stage, but would give the manufacturers a chance to demonstrate their EV capabilities, which could in theory attract more manufacturers. Win-win?

The currant HIV distance is in single figure kilometres per event. So no chance of even a full road section, never mind a stage.
When it was first announced I had naïvely assumed that all road sections would be done in EV mode. I really don’t see why they seem to have focused on boosting the already huge amount of power the car has, there wasn’t really a need for it. It’s a way of saying the cars are hybrid, environmentally friendly etc but doing the absolute minimum required.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Hyundai did a mock test with so called road sections allegedly using only EV mode? The WRC site/DF waxed lyrical about it. In retrospect its a bit of an own goal and opens the sport to ridicule if its not already there.

They only had a short city HEV zone, like current rallies (should) have

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
