Team changes

  • Mercedes-EQ left the championship after competing for three seasons and winning the drivers and constructors titles in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons.[37] Their entry and assets were purchased by McLaren.[12] This new entry uses Nissan powertrains.[13]
  • On 10 January 2022, Maserati announced they would be joining Formula E in the 2022–23 season, becoming the first Italian manufacturer in the series.[16] It was later announced in April 2022 that Maserati had agreed a multi-year partnership with ROKiT Venturi Racing. It is the first time that Maserati is a constructor since leaving Formula 1 in the 1950s [38]
  • 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.[39]
  • In May 2022, ABT Sportsline, one of the old Audi team's key partners announced they would return to the series under the name ABT CUPRA.[40] They use Mahindra powertrains.
  • DS and Techeetah announced the end of their relationship after four seasons.[41] DS would instead partner up with Penske (one of the partners of the former Dragon team).[3] Techeetah missed the 2022–23 season, with a view to returning to the grid for the 2023–24 season.[42]

Driver changes

Mid-season changes

ABT CUPRA driver Robin Frijns sustained a wrist fracture on the opening lap of the Mexico City ePrix. He was unable to compete in the Diriyah ePrix double header and was replaced by touring car and GT racer Kelvin van der Linde, who made his Formula E debut after testing for Audi in 2020.[48]

List of planned races

The following ePrix are contracted to form a part of the 2022–23 Formula E World Championship:

While it was originally planned to return to the format of starting the season at the end of a year and running until the European summer, the championship remained with a start early in the year for the third season running.[51][52]

Location changes

  • The Mexico City ePrix became the season opener for the first time ever, taking over from the Diriyah ePrix.
  • The Hyderabad ePrix will join the calendar after signing a letter of intent in January 2022, the first FIA World Championship event in India since the 2013 Indian Grand Prix.[49]
  • The São Paulo ePrix will be introduced, after an unsuccessful bid for the 2017–18 season.[50][53]
  • The Seoul ePrix Seoul Street Circuit first planned to change its layout for the 2022–23 season due to the redevelopment of the Jamsil Stadium area, but was then not part of the updated calendar.[54]
  • The Jakarta ePrix, which debuted in 2022, will become a double-header event.
  • The Marrakesh ePrix will not return for the season as it was part of the 2021–22 calendar to substitute the cancelled Vancouver round.[55]
  • The Cape Town ePrix will be introduced after it was originally scheduled to debut in the 2021–22 season.[54]
  • The Paris ePrix was due to return to the calendar after being left out of the 2021–22 calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has not been included in the first announced schedule.[56]
  • The round held in the United States moves from Brooklyn Street Circuit in New York City to Portland International Raceway in Oregon. The layout of the 3.166km circuit is expected to be modified.[57][58]

Regulation changes

Technical changes

The championship began its third generation of technical regulations.[59] This saw the introduction of a completely new car, with the new chassis again built by Spark Racing Technology. The cars are now powered by two powertrains, with a second one added to the front axle, increasing the maximum power output from 250kW to 600kW. This new car is the smallest and lightest car ever used in the championship, with its weight being reduced by 60kg. Increased power and reduced weight saw maximum speeds climb to over 320km/h. The addition of a second powertrain increased regenerative ability from 25% to 40%, enough that the new cars have no hydraulic rear brakes.[60] The tyre supplier changed from Michelin to Hankook.[61]

Sporting changes

In addition to the new car, a number of race format changes were also made. The format returned to races run to a set number of laps instead of a fixed time, with safety cars and full course cautions increasing the laps needed to finish the race. Fanboost was also removed for this season.[62]

Fast recharging will be tested in select races under a so-called "attack charge" format. During an attack charge race, each driver is required to pit for a recharge during the course of the race, but they receive two additional attack mode activation periods for doing so.[63]

Teams are now required run a rookie driver during at least two practice sessions during the season.[63]
