Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds has confirmed that the series is looking to add another race in the United States to the current Portland E-Prix. This potential race in Los Angeles would expand the series’ footprint in North America following its presence in Miami, Long Beach, New York, Mexico, and Montreal. Dodds mentioned the USA market can sustain another race, with Los Angeles being a rumored and promising venue given California’s sustainability focus. There is room for Formula E to grow from its current 16 races, but technical limitations would prevent a substantial increase due to battery constraints. While making every event a doubleheader like Extreme E is cost-effective, it could pose logistical challenges and limit the series’ ability to sell out events.
