#ev Nissans ZEOD RC prototype racer completes first all-electric lap at Le Mans. Its now achieved two of the teams three goals for Le Mans 2014 -- an all-electric lap and hitting 300 km/h (192MPH) running just on the electric motor -- and now just needs to record a gas-powered lap at a speed matching the LMP2 cars racing on the course. In the US, the race broadcast will kick off at 8:30AM ET on Fox Sports 1, before switching back and forth on Fox Sports 2 during the 24-hour span. You can stream the entire thing on mobiles via the Fox Sports Go app -- if you have cable TV -- but if youre on a PC, the entire thing will be streamed on 24h-lemans for free.. During warmups, Nissan wheeled its ZEOD RC prototype race car around the 8.47-mile Circuit de la Sarthe track running only on battery power, a first. ZEOD stands for Zero Emissions On Demand and the car squeezes a 1.5-liter three cylinder engine that produces 400hp plus two electric motors and the regenerative breaking of a Leaf RC into the frame similar to the older DeltaWing prototype racer. engadget/2014/06/14/nissans-zeod-rc-first-all-electric-le-mans-lap/
