They own Formula E battery production. Their battery tech and performance is easily the most impressive. Motorsport is usually the first indicator of advances in production cars, so if you’re paying attention they actually do have impressive battery tech

No, it is about how much money you paid to Fia.

Disagree. It’s a testing ground for tech and future performance. So many stories of Porsche, Honda, Ford, Audi, Mercedes using it to test hybrid engines, fuel efficiency techniques, p/w ratios, engine endurance, etc. it’s basically a way for sponsors to pay for R&D. Honda is the best example testing their hybrid engines before production. Just watch, they are testing battery performance at the highest level and it will pay dividends in the long term

In addition car owners and drivers want to win. Do you really think they wouldn’t use better battery tech if it was available and still in specifications?
