A fraught 2024 pre-season test is hardly the best preparation for Formula E’s fast-charging debut. So what did the teams learn and what does the limited running mean for their introduction?
The test at Valencia last week was supposed to be an important opportunity for Formula E teams to test the fast-charging boost devices and reintroduce pitstops. However, the plans went off track. A fire broke out in the WAE pit, forcing a two-day pause in running. This led to a change in the timetable, and teams had limited testing of the chargers. The cell supplier, SAFT, was unable to provide enough cells, causing a delay. The chargers were initially intended to be used last season, but due to supply and demand issues, they were not fully available.
