EV Racing Safety Conference
Since the late 1800s, where there have been cars, there have been people wanting to race cars.
More than a century later, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly commonplace on our streets. Naturally, electric vehicle racing is following close behind. Many advancements in motorsports safety have come about from lessons learned over the years. And most recently, we have seen the safety issues associated with electric vehicles on the streets. Today the motorsports industry is in a perfect position to prepare for those issues on track!
The only source for cross-industry collaboration
The EVRSafe conference features industry experts in lithium-ion battery technology, high-voltage powertrains, electric vehicle system integration, professional motorsports, and more. Attendees of EVRSafe events have the opportunity to get up close and personal with electric and hybrid race vehicles to see first-hand what “best practice” could look like.
