Turn to hydrogen set to shake up Extreme E calendar
The switch to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Extreme E could lead to changes in the championship’s calendar. Currently, the championship consists of five doubleheader events due to logistical restrictions, but there might be an expansion in future seasons. The focus would be on having more regional races, possibly in the Mediterranean basin, to be able to accommodate more events. The shift to hydrogen vehicles could also open up the series to countries heavily invested in hydrogen, potentially reducing the number of races in remote locations. The confirmation of next year’s schedule is expected soon, with discussions ongoing for the 2024 calendar, taking into account the development of hydrogen vehicles and considering various locations.
