While NASCAR may be popular across the country, it is easy to imagine that environmentalists have reservations about its races. Especially since all the cars in competition are fossil fuel guzzlers. But now in Mexico there’s the Formula “E” series championship races where only fully-electric cars can compete.

CCTV’s Franc Contreras reports from Mexico City.

The Formula E series is historic. It’s the world’s first championship with fully electric cars.

Formula E aims to become the world’s top research and development platform for electric cars. Already, race teams have developed improved technology that maintains battery temperatures under duress.

Support for electric car racing is coming from former Formula One champions.

Plenty of thrills and excitement to satisfy fans, given a glimpse into the future from the world of motor sports.
