What an early delay to Formula E’s Gen4 process really means
The tender process for the ‘Gen4′ ruleset in Formula E has been delayed by the FIA and Formula E to further evaluate potential suppliers’ proposals for the 2026-30 competition period. The final selection, initially scheduled for October 19, has been extended to November 2024. The FIA and Formula E are prioritizing making the best decision for the future of the championship. The Gen4 car will have increased power, aerodynamic kits, power steering, and maximum energy recuperation. The evaluation of the battery tender is a key sticking point and is the reason for the extended timeline. Lessons from the difficult Gen3 project are being considered to ensure a smoother development process for Gen4.
