NASCAR debuted its ABB NASCAR EV Prototype car in Chicago and announced a partnership with ABB to be the first Official IMPACT partner of the sport. The car was developed in collaboration with NASCAR’s three manufacturer partners, with involvement from engineers who worked on the Next Gen and Garage 56 projects. The ABB NASCAR EV Prototype features three STARD UHP 6-Phase motors, all-wheel drive, and a 78-kWh liquid-cooled battery capable of producing 1,000 kW at peak power. This marks NASCAR’s two-year journey towards EV development, with plans to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2035. The partnership with ABB aims to advance electrification technology and sustainability efforts within the NASCAR industry. While there are no immediate plans for a new series, NASCAR remains open to future possibilities while maintaining its current competitions and engines.
