Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds has outlined some of the expectations for the upcoming Gen4 era of the sport, which will get underway in Season 13 (2026/27).
The next era of Formula E will see faster cars and longer races, with the goal of reaching 100 km/h in less than two seconds. The current Gen3 cars already go from 0-100 km/h in around two seconds. Formula E has evolved significantly since its inception in 2014, with top speeds increasing from 140 mph to 200 mph in Gen3. The introduction of Gen4 cars will further close the performance gap between Formula E and F1, with an expected power output of over 800 bhp. The battery capacity will also increase, allowing for extended race durations of up to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
