NASCAR’s EV future? It’s not what you think — yet. One year after unveiling its all-electric prototype to a mix of cheers and jeers, NASCAR has now rolled out three distinct EV race cars from Ford, Chevy, and Toyota. But don’t panic, the Cup Series isn’t going electric. At least… not anytime soon. Instead, this is about experimentation, education, and yes, acceleration — because the 1360-horsepower beast they’re testing is no glorified golf cart. ABB VP Chris Shigas joins the show to pull back the curtain on this electric stock car experiment, where it’s headed, and what fans should (and shouldn’t) worry about.
This isn’t about replacing the V8 thunder — it’s about widening the garage door for racing’s next chapter. ABB, NASCAR, and the OEMs are using this project to test ideas, technologies, and maybe even fan tolerance. Whether you’re skeptical or curious, this one’s worth your time.
