Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars. It is the highest class of competition for electrically powered single-seater racing cars.
The inaugural championship race was held in Beijing in September 2014.[1] Since 2020, the series has FIA world championship status.[2]
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season consists of a series of races, each known as an e-Prix.[3] These take place in multiple countries and continents around the world - mostly on street circuits created specifically for Formula E on closed public roads in the centre of major cities, with a small number on iconic purpose-built circuits such as Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. [4] A points system is used at each e-Prix to determine two annual World Championships: one for the drivers, and one for the constructors (the teams).[5] Each driver must hold a valid e-Licence issued by the FIA to compete.[6]
Formula E cars are the fastest regulated electric road-course racing cars in the world.[7] Major changes made for the 2022-23 season in the development of the Gen3 car were delivered as software updates directly to the advanced operating system built into the car.[8] The estimated top speed is 322 km/h (200 mph). The battery is also designed to be able to handle "flash-charging" at rates of up to 600 kW, allowing pitstop recharging into the championship for the first time. The wheelbase has been reduced from 3100 mm to 2970 mm and the weight reduced to 760 kg.[9]
Formula E shareholders include Liberty Global and Warner Brothers Discovery.[10] As of 2024, Formula E’s founder and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag is the company’s Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer is Jeff Dodds
The proposal for a city-based, single-seater electric car motor racing championship was conceived by Jean Todt, the president of the world governing body of motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and presented to politicians Alejandro Agag and Antonio Tajani at a dinner at a small Italian restaurant in the French capital Paris on 3 March 2011.[12][13][14] Tajani was concentrated on the electrification of the automobile industry, reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and introducing hybrid and electric systems. Agag supported Todt's proposal after the latter discussed the FIA opening up a tender to organise the series. Agag told Todt that he would take on the task because of his prior experience in negotiating contracts with television stations, sponsorship and marketing.[15]
Since the 2020–21 season, Formula E is an FIA World Championship, making it the first single-seater racing series outside of Formula One to be given world championship status.[16]

The Formula E championship is currently contested by 22 drivers, and 11 teams as of the 2024 season. [17] The sport features electric-powered race cars similar in style to the hybrid-drive cars of Formula One. Racing generally takes place on temporary city-centre street circuits, that are around 1.9 to 3.4 km (1.2 to 2.1 mi) long, although the series is slowly moving towards racing on more traditional circuits, such as Portland International Raceway, and the Misano Circuit.[18]
