Eindhoven – It’s a dream come true. Designing an electric racing car for long-distance races, where the odometer reaches almost 300 km/h at full throttle. In Eindhoven, students from the Technical University have managed to pull off such a feat. But the most important thing about the invention is that charging the battery – which generates the horsepower – is already twice as fast as with regular cars with a plug.
