TOM BRADY joins E1 electric boat series as team owner

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady has joined the UIM E1 World Championship – the all-new electric raceboat competition.

Through his new role as team owner in the UIM E1 World Championship, Brady is looking to inspire future generations towards innovation and action for a sustainable future.

E1 is the first electric raceboat championship sanctioned by the

Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the world governing body of powerboating. E1 holds an exclusive license with the UIM to promote a racing series on the water powered solely by electric. The championship was established to create a new, competitive on-water racing proposition based on clean technologies to protect our waters and coastal areas.

InstaVolt has submitted plans to build the UK’s largest fully open hub of ultra-rapid chargers inside the M25 at Syon Park in Brentford.

Easily accessible from the A4 and M4, the Syon Park Estate is situated along a key commuter route, meaning that InstaVolt’s new hub will provide rapid charging for routes into and out of London.

With congestion zones, low emission zones and ULEZ expanding to cover nearly all of Greater London within the circumference of the M25, the new hub is the latest in a string of announcements by InstaVolt, demonstrating the company’s commitment to ensuring that charging infrastructure keeps up with demand.

RIMAC NEVERA sets hillclimb record at Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Rimac Nevera has become the fastest electric production car to have ever taken on the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb.

In the Supercar Shootout on the final day of the event, the Nevera set a time of 49.32 seconds. The car – fitted with Pirelli Pilot Sport

4S tires – was driven throughout the weekend by Bugatti Rimac Chief Test and Development Driver, Miroslav Zrnčević

Zrnčević, Rimac Chief Test and Development Driver, said: “Taking on the narrow hillclimb at Goodwood, with its tight corners and off-camber sections, is actually one of the scariest places to drive a car quickly. But this is the record-setting year for the Nevera, and Goodwood hillclimb was yet another challenge to conquer. With tens of thousands watching on-site and millions more online, there’s a fine-line between glory and a trip into the hay bales, but I’m so happy to have showcased the incredible work of the design and engineering teams with another verified record for this revolutionary car.”
