US EditionGoogle Cloud AI Helps Formula E in Groundbreaking 'Mountain Recharge' Energy Feat
- On May 3, 2025, Formula E’s GENBETA prototype car powered up exclusively through energy recovered via regenerative braking during a 1,000-meter descent in the mountains of Monte Carlo, enabling it to complete a full lap of the Monaco circuit.
- Google Cloud's AI planned the optimized braking strategy that enabled the mountain descent to generate sufficient energy for a full Monaco lap.
- Under the control of James Rossiter, a test driver for Formula E, the GENBETA vehicle produced between 1.6 and 2.0 kWh of energy solely by harnessing gravity and braking energy to complete the 3.337 km lap.
- Alex Aidan of Formula E highlighted this example as a powerful demonstration of how advanced energy recovery techniques combined with AI technology hosted in the cloud can transform approaches to transportation, energy management, and environmental sustainability.
- The 'Mountain Recharge' project highlights Formula E vehicles' energy efficiency and demonstrates AI's potential to address real-world challenges in sustainable transport.

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…
