Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds has explained the decision to delay the introduction of fast-charging pit stops, initially planned for last season with the GEN3 car’s arrival. However, the technology faced issues during tests in Spain and Mexico, leading to further postponements. Dodds mentioned that while the charging technology itself works, challenges following the charge completion caused the hold-ups. The focus now is on extensive testing to ensure a smooth rollout, potentially with the GEN3 Evo next season or earlier if upcoming tests go well. Despite the delays, Dodds emphasized Formula E’s groundbreaking work in developing technology that doesn’t exist elsewhere, highlighting the series’ commitment to innovation.
