Can an EV beat an ICE?

Yes!

ProEV has done it.

ProEV's Electric Imp ran six autocrosses in 2005. We ran in the Sports Car Club of America D Modified class against ICE competition and we won each time. This made us the Sports Car Club of America Florida Region D Modified Champions.

Modern EV's can be built that are powerful enough to go very quickly. They have some advantages over ICE cars such as maximum torque at zero RPM. They have some disadvantages like batteries weighing more than gas.

To win, EV's must use their advantages and minimize their disadvantages.

We have proven that EV's can win in autocross but what about road racing?

The last time a battery powered vehicle won a race, against gas powered competition in a closed circuit road race, was September 11, 1896. ProEV thinks it is about time that this 110 year record be broken.

Towards this goal, we have started competing in road races with the Sports Car Club of America. We have been quick but not yet reliable. <Read more about it at here>

Can ProEV's Electric Imp beat ICE cars in the Sports Car Club of America's Super Production class? We will have to see. Join us at the race track (click to see the schedule) and find out.
