Google Cloud AI Helps Formula E in Groundbreaking 'Mountain Recharge' Energy Feat
- On May 3, 2025, Formula E's GENBETA prototype race car powered an entire lap of the Monaco E-Prix circuit solely by capturing energy through braking while descending a mountain drop of 1,000 meters in Monte Carlo.
- The event occurred because Google Cloud's AI planned and optimized the regenerative braking needed to generate enough energy for the full 3.337 km lap.
- Test driver James Rossiter operated the car, which produced between 1.6 and 2.0 kWh of energy purely from gravity and braking during a 3.337 km lap of Monaco—enough to fully charge almost 60 high-capacity smartphones.
- The Vice President of Marketing at Formula E described the initiative as an example of how combining advanced regeneration technology with cloud-based AI can transform approaches to transportation, energy management, and sustainability.
- The Mountain Recharge demonstration underscores Formula E's energy efficiency and its role as the only net zero carbon all-electric FIA World Championship, promoting electric vehicle innovation globally.

AI also runs (and wins)
Race bikes do not have telemetry like Formula 1 cars. During the race there is no constant communication between the rider and his team, which does not have data of the machine in real time. The only possibility to transmit some indication is a system that allows to send a text to a small screen on the bike, although first the approval of the direction of the race must pass, so everything that has to be changed in a vehicle that can reach 350 ki…
