Electric racing series Formula E debuted a wild new racecar for its fifth season. It’s faster, lasts longer, and The Verge’s senior transportation reporter Sean O’Kane got to drive it. He went to Spain to see how far Formula E’s electric racing technology has come in just five years.

Do you think all-electric is the future of racing?
I have a awesome idea lets put one of those engines in a 1980 Chrysler valiant
Formula E is great, just wish the cars looked more similar to normal F1 cars…
These look like spaceships, it looks kinda funny imo
I always marvel at the idea that buying electric or petrol cars should always be a matter of choice. If you look at the science of climate change, there is no choice, we HAVE to stop making ICE cars.
Adding sound to an EV Racer would be simple, the drivers could dial the level they want.
M I’m mm
If they want to really start turning heads they need to increase the power and range
But I know we aren’t there yet technology wise but maybe throw in a battery swap during pit stops
just failed hard 😜
Alibaba product
Taking the plane to see an eco friendly race haha.
Mahindra ❤️
Wanna get viewers on formula‑e? Give us what we’re longing for from formula 1: put the loudest possible sound system on it, and have the car mimic a formula‑1 v10 sound.
Show this to Musk
Sweet! I want to drive one.
The trick to convert racing enthusiasts to ecars from petrol is to make them faster than petrol ones,they can’t complain then. Street circuits aren’t really for the real F1 crowd.
Props to the drone pilot!
They make Monaco exciting thats great because its usually really boring to watch
The cost of the test ?
They should allow teams to choose gas or electric and have them compete against each other.
Time to make update now
FE is the worst motorsport series out there
Just like going to a slot car track!
Silent golf carts no thanks!
Of it was power limited how can you give an accurate review. Thumbsdown.
RC car
I never knew mahindra was in racing.
Brilliant!
formula one will be gone in five years. People watch petrol engine racing because they drive petrol cars, as electric takes over in the next few years people will want to watch electric car racing. And firms that made peteol cars will have no reason to continue in formula one.
An easy swap battery pack like a electric weed edger would be cool.
Fossil fuel is old. It’s time for technology that is better for the environment.
Hey I support the guy
I assume all wheel e‑drive is a significant advantage for stabilization and acceleration on corners
“It’s like a go kart”
Pass.
And so boring
The fpv pilot you guys had sucked
The cars are amazing but the problem at the moment is are the tracks are awful. We need to see them racing around tracks like SPA at F1 speeds then it’s the business!! Obviously batteries limitations won’t allow that yet.. but!! 🤘🤘
Performance is performance no mater what is powering it.
It still gets beaten by a wrc car ffs
Can they not do a battery change?
If electric cars use coal how are they green
You want to sell cars? Then make them stock cars. What wins on Sunday sells on Monday. No dumbed down rolling race cages pretending to be stock cars, but actual stock car racing. This is why most of us former race fans are former. The series have gone politically correct, and are just rolling race cages with stickers to make them look like a different brand of car. It is pathetic. If racing does not get back to it’s roots then racing will fade into a distant memory. Race fans are typically also car/truck people and they like to play, tune, tweak, modify etc… That market is completely locked out with EV’s at present for the most part.
Love the sound is like a jet turbine plus I bet that throttle response is insane 👍
This f1 e car is from india 🇮🇳
It’s time for gen3
e1 future racing
Not many young people will be buying electric cars until the price comes down
