Team changes

  • Mercedes-EQ will leave the championship after competing for three seasons and winning the drivers and constructors titles in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons,[34] with their entry and assets having been confirmed for purchase by McLaren.[26]
  • In December 2021, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown stated that the team would make the decision whether to enter Formula E sometime in early 2022. Earlier in January that year, it was announced that they "had an agreement to join Formula E in Gen3".[35][36] In May 2022, McLaren announced the acquisition of the Mercedes-EQ team for the 2022–23 season.[26] The team will use Nissan powertrains.[27]
  • On 10 January 2022, Maserati announced they would be joining Formula E in the 2022–23 season,[23] becoming the first Italian manufacturer in the series. It was later announced in April 2022 that Maserati had agreed a multi-year partnership with ROKiT Venturi Racing.[37]
  • In April 2022, Nissan announced they would take a complete ownership of the e.dams team, rebranding the team to the Nissan Formula E Team.[38]
  • In May 2022, ABT Sportsline, one of the old Audi team's key partners announced they would return to the series under the name Team ABT.[39] They will use Mahindra powertrains.
  • DS and Techeetah announced the end of their relationship after four seasons.[40] DS would instead partner up with Penske (one of the partners of the former Dragon team).[41]
