Formula E has officially confirmed the introduction of the long-awaited Pit Boost feature at the upcoming Jeddah E-Prix doubleheader next month. This addition will involve a mandatory pit stop that provides an extra 10 percent (3.885kWh) energy through a 600kW ultra-fast charge lasting 30 seconds. The feature was delayed for two seasons as Formula E and the FIA rigorously tested its impact on the races. Pit Boost will be compulsory for all drivers, and failure to use it will result in race disqualification. Teams can only pit one car at a time, with a maximum of two crew members working on the vehicle simultaneously. This innovative technology aims to challenge teams and drivers to make critical decisions under intense pressure, adding a unique strategic element to each race of the Formula E season.
