EV Channels Review

MotorTrend's "The InEVitable" podcast visits Rennsport Reunion 7, focusing on Porsche and Michelin's collaborative push towards an electrified future in customer racing. The discussion centers on the Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 718 Cayman-based race car utilizing technology from the Mission R concept. Key highlights include the car's performance capabilities, with up to 1200 horsepower in 'party mode,' and its development using 63% sustainable materials in the Michelin tires. The hosts and guests explore the challenges and opportunities of EV racing, emphasizing its role as a technological testbed and a brand differentiator for Porsche. Michelin's commitment to sustainability, aiming for 100% sustainable materials by 2050, is also a significant theme. While acknowledging initial customer interest and the brand's historical willingness to innovate, the conversation touches on the perception lag and the emotional connection drivers still have with combustion engines. The GT4 e-Performance tour serves as a crucial step in educating stakeholders and preparing for the future of electric customer racing.
