No matter if you charge just after the stage or just before the next one, you need to travel one road section on the same battery as the stage. Let's do 30 km with an average speed of 50 km/h and an average consumption of 20 kW. Alltogether we have 48 kWh. That is 200 kg of batteries only to do one stage and a relatively short road section. The car in the example will be slower than Rally2. Moreover the people watching All live will need to pay attention for much longer period of the time per day because the cars will recharge after every stage which will become for sure very unpopular among the online spectators and also among all other competitors who will only sit and wait after every stage for the electric ones.

I don't even comment the idea to find a suitable recharging area after EVERY stage and get all the stuff including the firebrigade there in time. Good luck with that...
You just described how it's technically perfectly possible even adding a road section. Thanks for immediatelly proving yourself wrong.

"The car will be slower than Rally2"...as you know there is lot more to a car speed than just weight+power. This kind of statement is on the level of people claiming last summer how new Rally1 will be slower than any R5.


Timeschedule is very different on different rallies now already and has varied greatly before as well.

It seems you are thinking a lot about charging from. 0-100%, which is totally unnecessary and waste of time. Do a stage, charge for 10 mins, stop in TC before next stage, charge for 10 mins...and so on.

Having one charging truck and one firetruck standing still at each location is definitely not the most limiting factor. With 2-3 min gaps you might have only 5-6 cars charging at same time and typically you have around 10 cars in top class.
