The 2023–24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is the tenth season of the FIA Formula E championship, a motor racing championship for electrically powered vehicles recognised by motorsport's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for electric open-wheel racing cars. Although the championship season is designated as 2023–2024, all races are held in 2024. [1]
All teams use the Formula E Gen3 car on Hankook tyres.
McLaren driver Sam Bird sustained a hand injury in a crash during the opening practice session of the Monaco ePrix. He withdrew from the event and was replaced by McLaren reserve and development driver Taylor Barnard, who already drove for the team in the rookie practice session ahead of the Misano ePrix and became the youngest driver to start a race in Formula E. [19]
Multiple drivers will miss the Berlin E-Prix double-header because of a calendar clash with the FIA World Endurance Championship's 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. Both Envision Racing drivers will prioritize their WEC commitments and will be replaced by GT driver Joel Eriksson, whose last Formula E race was for Dragon / Penske in the 2020–21 season, and Hitech Pulse-Eight Formula 2 driver Paul Aron. [15] Mahindra Racing's Nyck de Vries will also miss Berlin to race in WEC, with the team instead fielding their reserve and development driver Jordan King. [35] ABT CUPRA will also once again use the services of their reserve driver Kelvin van der Linde to replace Nico Müller. [28]

Attack Charge was scheduled to be introduced starting at the Misano E-Prix. [47] This new feature would have seen drivers take a mandatory pit stop in a specific window during the race, during which the car would have been recharged to award drivers two attack mode boosts and an extra 4 kWh (14.4 MJ) of energy throughout the rest of the race. [48] This feature was originally planned to be introduced in season 9, but after delays in production of the fast charging units it was postponed until season 10. This timeframe was then delayed once again, with the feature now unlikely to be introduced during season 10. [49]
Any time penalty received by the drivers must now also be carried out the next time the driver enters the pit lane for a pit-stop or attack charge. [50]
The Manufacturers' Trophy was introduced ahead of the São Paulo ePrix, with the championship standings backdated to the start of the season. The highest-placed two cars per powertrain manufacturer per race will score points towards that manufacturer's position in the standings, using the same points system as already implemented for the Drivers' and Teams' Championships. [51]
Pre-season testing took place at Valencia on 23–27 October 2023. Jaguar cars topped all three sessions, with Mitch Evans fastest in the first two and Nick Cassidy fastest in the final session. The traditional simulation race was topped by Envision's Robin Frijns. The test was heavily disrupted by a battery fire in the garage of battery supplier Williams Advanced Engineering, caused by a faulty battery. One and a half days of running were cancelled, and the Mahindra cars parked in the garage adjacent to the fire sustained heavy damage. Nyck de Vries' car was too damaged to participate in the rest of the test, with the team being compensated with an extra private test session ahead of the season opener in Mexico City. [52] [53] [54]
