In the race to fight climate change, there is no turning back from the promise offered by the adoption of electric mobility and Formula E is accelerating this transition in transport. In Season 9 Formula E will debut its Gen3 car described as: “a machine created at the intersection of high performance, efficiency and sustainability.” The Gen3 will be the world’s most efficient racing car, a creature designed for its habitat: racing on city streets in wheel-to-wheel combat. The Gen3 will be net-zero carbon, maintaining the championship’s status as the first sport to be certified as net-zero carbon since inception. Charging solutions for the Gen3 cars will be provided by ABB, drawing on the company’s extensive experience as a world leader in EV charging infrastructure. This session features a Formula E driver, Team Principal and experts in electric mobility discussing their role in Formula E’s unique brand of dramatic, wheel-to-wheel high-speed racing - proving that high-performance motorsport and sustainability can powerfully co-exist.
