Had not heard about this, thanks Andy.
Sounds like the only concession was allowing en-route charging of the batteries. Hopefully we will see this car or similar in the European or World Rally Championship event soon. With more manufacturers offering all-electric cars, this may be a direction that the WRC could take up.
Top flight WRC rallying is moving to hybrid power trains in 2022 but the rumour mill has cast doubts upon Hyundai and Ford being ready. That would only leave Toyota in the top WRC class.
