Maserati has announced that it has committed to the Gen4 era of Formula E, keeping the iconic brand in the all-electric series until at least 2030.

The Italian manufacturer will continue to use powertrains produced by parent company Stellantis, making the parent company, officially, an OEM in FE for the new era, which will be introduced in the latter stages of 2026 (Season 13). 

No comment was made on whether DS Penske will remain on the grid. 

“We are delighted to announce Stellantis Motorsport's commitment to Maserati in the upcoming Gen4 of Formula E.," said Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP, Stellantis Motorsport.

"For over 10 years, we have been developing high-efficiency powertrains for DS and Maserati, and will continue to work on these road-relevant technologies in as competitive and promising a championship as Formula E. 

"The conditions of engagement of other Stellantis Brands will be specified later”.

Maserati 'proud'

In making the announcement, Maserati become the fifth manufacturer to commit to Gen4, joining Nissan, Jaguar, Porsche and Lola. 

"We are thrilled to confirm Maserati’s continued commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by registering for the GEN4 era, alongside Stellantis Motorsport," said FE CEO, Jeff Dodds. 

"They have both been a valuable part of our championship, and have demonstrated remarkable performances on track, while driving forward electric vehicle technology that benefits everyday road users. 

"Their ongoing involvement alongside other global OEMs such as Nissan, Jaguar, Porsche and Lola, is a testament to Formula E's status as a competitive and relevant platform for the future of electric mobility. 

"We can't wait to see the House of Trident continue its journey with Formula E and build into a new era of enhanced performance, innovation and on track action."

The Monte-Carlo based team has signed two new drivers in Jake Hughes and Stoffel Vandoorne for the upcoming season, which will see the introduction of the Gen3 EVO. 

Committing to Gen4 is a big step by Maserati, who finished eighth in the teams' championship last season. 

“We are extremely proud to continue our commitment to as prestigious and innovative a platform as Formula E," said Santo Ficili, Maserati CEO.

"For this brand, the bond between the track and the road is unbreakable and the evolution of the single-seaters shows how many possibilities for development electric mobility holds. 

"We will continue to draw major developments from the races in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, to transfer them into our 100% electric range that now consists of the Grecale Folgore SUV, the iconic GranTurismo Folgore and the GranCabrio Folgore convertible”
