And had I been sitting in the board knowing what is coming, I would have said no.
Hyundai have a 800v Ionic 5 coming, that is a quick charger, and they would need a charging truck btw stages.

So to push all the needed money into Hybrid now, is too late.

As said by others: FIA missed an option not going ahead with the all electric WRX series a few years back. They would have been much more of a suitable testbed. Lets see what the Extreme E series get out of its first season

For me the most exciting title race and championship in the last decade was in 2011, with just two manufacteurs entries (Citroen and Ford).

Also, when someone mentions the need for full electric cars to guarantee the survival of a series, why does everyone fail the mention the complete failure of WRX when the full electric cars were announced?!
