FIA Formula E

Formula E is a new FIA motor racing championship featuring single-seater cars powered exclusively by electricity. Beginning in September 2014, the series will compete in the heart of 10 of the world's leading cities with 10 teams, each with two drivers, going head-to-head to create a unique and exciting racing series for a new generation of motorsport fan. Formula E is the worldÍs first electric street racing series, defined by real street rivalries, raw electric performance, and renewable energy within reach. Formula E is disruptive in motorsport, redefining the very boundaries of what a sport can be through the unique fusion of entertainment, sustainability, technology and innovation. We are fighting climate change by offering electric vehicles as a solution to air pollution in city centres and breaking down the barriers to the electric vehicle market: Technology, Perception and Infrastructure. We are not just a race! We are a technological and sustainable development test bed for some of the leading companies in and out of motor racing to address mobility and environmental issues. We believe that electric vehicles represent the future and are the answer to sustainable transportation and fighting climate change. However we acknowledge that in our push into the electric era and the transition towards low carbon societies, the power used needs to be low carbon too.
