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 race 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 Aga, the series looks to showcase the potential of sustainable mobility and electric vehicles.

The current, and second, generation of the Formula E car is the Spark SRT05e, a standardised vehicle raced by all teams in the competition that contains a 54kWh battery, power output of between 200kW to 250kW and a top speed of up to 280 km/h (174 mph).

The car, described by Formula E as 'Batmobile-esque', contains double the energy storage capacity of the Gen1 car, meaning it can complete an entire race without stopping and hit 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds. The Gen3 car, set to be introduced for the ninth season in 2022, is expected to contain power levels of up to 350kW during qualifying and regenerative front and back braking.

Formula E races are held exclusively on adapted street circuits of between 1.9 to 3.4 km in length, and a variety of manufacturers, ranging from Citroen's DS brand to Audi, BMW and others, have competed in the series.

The competition is currently contested by a total of 12 teams each fielding two drivers and the race itself runs in a timed format of 45 minutes plus one lap. For the 2019 season the series was granted FIA World Championship status.

In addition to standard points scoring, Formula E has added some innovative features to its racing including Fan Boost, where fans vote for which driver they think should get a power boost, and Attack Mode, in which drivers gain 35kW of power by driving off the racing line.

Among the manufacturers, Renault is the most successful to have completed in the series, securing three Constructors' Championship wins in 2014, 2015 and 2017, followed by DS Automobiles with two titles and Abt Schaeffler with one.

Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne is the only driver to have won two championships with DS Techeetah, while Antonio Felix da Costa, Lucas di Grassi, Sebastian Buemi and Nelson Piquet Jr have taken home championship victories. Nyck de Vries and Mercedes wrapped up the titles in 2021.

For 2022, Formula E will stage 16 rounds, with the season kicking off in Saudi Arabia in January and concluding in South Korea in August. In between, there will be visits to Mexico, Italy, Monaco, Germany, Indonesia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
