Formula E is the pinnacle of electric open-wheel motorsport, conceived as a new series sanctioned by the FIA in 2011. The inaugural championship took place in 2014 with the first race at the Beijing Olympic Park.

The world's premier electric racing series was born from the changing focus of the automotive industry towards electrically powered vehicles, and has evolved through a range of cars and new racing formats throughout its short history.

Originally conceived as an idea between FIA President Jean Todt and Formula E Chairman Alejandro Agag, the series looks to showcase the potential of sustainable mobility and electric vehicles.

For the 2025 season (Season 11), Formula E introduced the Gen3 EVO car, an evolution of the original Gen3 introduced in 2023 (Season 9). It is standardised vehicle raced by all teams in the competition for S12, although the OEMs produce the powertrains. Season 13 (2027) will see the brand-new Gen4 introduced. 

The Gen4 features permanent all-wheel drive and has a top speed of 210 mph (335 km/h), whilst it is also the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater ever, achieving 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 1.8 seconds.

Formula E races are held on adapted street circuits and a variety of permanent venues, with several manufacturers involved, ranging from Stellantis (Citroën and Opel) to Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Mahindra and Lola. As for customer teams, Andretti, Envision, Cupra Kiro, Fortescue Zero Racing and Fusion all compete.

The competition is currently contested by a total of 12 teams each fielding two drivers. For the 2019 season the series was granted FIA World Championship status.

In addition to the same standard points scoring system as F1, Formula E has an in-race requirement called Attack Mode, in which drivers gain an extra 150kW of power by driving off the racing line and through a designated area. This must be used once per race, with the extra power ranging from two to six minutes per use, with a total of eight minutes to be used during a race. 

However, another in-race requirement was introduced in S11, known as Pit Boost. From 2027 (S13) double-header weekends will feature two different race formats. The first will be known as an 'Unleashed' E-Prix, consisting of a 30-minute race with no Pit Boost and one Attack Mode. The second will be a traditional E-Prix, lasting roughly 45 minutes and will feature Pit Boost, which sees drivers pit for 30 seconds and receive a 10% boost of energy as well as take Attack Mode once.

Among the manufacturers, Renault is the most successful to have competed in the series, securing three teams' championship wins in 2014, 2015 and 2017, followed by DS Automobiles, Mercedes-EQ and Jaguar with two titles and Abt Schaeffler, Envision and Porsche with one.

Former F1 drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Pascal Wehrlein are the only drivers to have won the Formula E title twice, whilst Oliver Rowland, Jake Dennis, Stoffel Vandoorne, Nyck de Vries, Antonio Felix da Costa, Lucas di Grassi, Sebastian Buemi and Nelson Piquet Jr have secured a Formula E championship. Wehrlein won the 2026 drivers' championship, whilst Jaguar won the teams' title and Porsche the manufacturers' title. 

For 2027, Formula E will stage 21 rounds, with the season actually kicking off in Jeddah in December 2026 and concluding in Tokyo in July 2027. In between, there will be visits to Mexico City, Austin, Miami, São Paulo, Sanya, Monaco, Berlin, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort, Madrid and Shanghai.
