The 2026 cars have to use 30 kgs of fuel only to generate electric power, according to the latest calculations. Wheelbase set to be shortened by 30 cm, new gearbox with only 6 instead of 8 gears.

30cm shorter wheelbase is roughly a 10% decrease I think. It would be good if weight comes down quite a bit too.
