The EVs for Everyone Podcast

Chris Shigas, ABB Head of Communications in the United States, announced today the ABB NASCAR Electrification Innovation Partnership and will reveal a new EV prototype at the 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race. This partnership brings together world leaders in EV technology and auto racing to advance NASCAR’s strategic ambitions across electrification. As part of the partnership, ABB in the United States will also help NASCAR achieve public sustainability targets around electrification and electric vehicle charging. While NASCAR is still committed to the historic role of the combustion engine in racing, it’s also committed to decarbonizing its operations and reducing its own carbon footprint to zero across its core operations by 2035 through electrification and innovative solutions.

The EV prototype (to be revealed in Chicago) was developed in collaboration with NASCAR’s OEM partners – Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota – and was built by the NASCAR engineers responsible for the Next Gen car and the Garage 56 entry into the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
