Lets see:
Dakar no BEV (not even possible tbh)
WEC/Le Mans no BEV (again not even possible)
Extreme E spec series with manufacturers throwing some money at it but not really manufacturer teams
E-GT still a few years of and yet to see what it will be like (spec like any other electric racing?)
Formula E spec series that is currently loosing manufacturers to you guessed it primarily ICE focused series
I'd rather not comment on drift videos.
Put the words of some "journalists" (=more like influencers) and PR people of manufacturers into contex with what is happening in real life, theres a big discrepancy.
