Alejandro Agag, founder of the Formula-E presented why and how to change the world.
Starting with:
There are two doors. Behind Door Number One is a completely sealed room, with a regular, gasoline-fueled car. Behind Door Number Two is an identical, completely sealed room, with an electric car. Both engines are running full blast.I want you to pick a door to open, and enter the room and shut the door behind you. You have to stay in the room you choose for one hour. You cannot turn off the engine. You do not get a gas mask.I’m guessing you chose the Door Number Two, with the electric car, right? Door number one is a fatal choice – who would ever want to breathe those fumes?

It is clear that electrification is the needed future. How to become everybody on board and get everyone enthusiastic about it?
Starting with electric cars – better electric race cars.
In the first generation show the electric advantages like torque, noise, … but the driver has to change the car. Emotion is triggered but the range is limited.
The second generation – today – can already deal with the complete race distance. You can see that the cars can deal with longer distances. So the electric car becomes mature but what is about disadvantage of slow refill. How to use it as classic fuel consuming cars with fast refills?
The next generation – you will see fast charging – like Formula One in 10-15s. Now the electric car has only advantages compared to classic combustion engine driven vehicles.
And on this journey he takes millions of people with him.
