For those who care about the environment and keeping their driving footprint small, one of the most compelling selling points for electric cars is that your car gets cleaner over time—because the electricity you’re plugging into, from the power grid, is being weaned off coal and toward cleaner and more sustainable sources.

Formula E partly exists to be a cheerleader for the potential of electric cars and, perhaps, the future of racing.
