Electric cars are being taken increasingly seriously at the Pikes Peak hill climb, and for 2013, Mitsubishi entered two MiEV Evolution II racing EVs, built specially for the infamous event. Piloted by Hiroshu Masuoka and Pikes Peak motorbike champion Greg Tracy, the aim was to be the first electric cars to smash the 10-minute barrier. Unlike the internal combustion cars, the EVs can still produce full power at high altitudes, so could they even climb the overall leaderboard?
