Phoenix666 brings us this EV-themed story from the BBC:

But there are many other electric vehicle (EV) racing events popping-up across the country that are showcasing and championing important advances in EV technology.

Formula E has been around for years, but a flood of newer EV racing events have lately zoomed into view.

Others include the Extreme E race series, which launched earlier this year. In it, electric sports utility vehicles (SUVs) compete in a series of off-road events. And in 2022, SuperCharge will bring EV racing to city streets around the world.

Battery life, safety, and weight are three dimensions that EV racers are focused on to give them a competitive edge.

But mostly battery life -- Ed. (yeah, yeah, that belongs in the comments - shut up!).

Anyway, plenty of variants available - including 2-wheeled ones. That might be what powers your sit-on lawnmower in a few years.
