This year, Dakar was won by an electric car ⚡.
Well, sort of. The Audi you see in the pictures runs on electric motors and a battery.
However, it’s not feasible to run an entire stage on a single battery pack, and of course, there is no time to charge. That’s why they had to add a small petrol engine, which is constantly running just to keep the battery charged.
