Season 9 marked the much-anticipated arrival of the new Gen3 car, the world’s first race car designed and optimized specifically for street racing. Taking on the lessons learnt over eight years of electric racing, the resulting car sets new standards both technically and environmentally. Compared to the Gen1 car, the Gen3 Formula E racer is 75 percent more powerful, has a top speed which is 95km/h greater and has six times the power regeneration capability.

Top Speed - 322 km/h / 200 mph

Power in attack mode - 350kW / 470bhp

Maximum Regeneration

First-ever formula car with both front and rear powertrains. A new front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capability of the Gen2 to a total of 600kW

Energy Recovery

Most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40 per cent of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking

Charging

The Gen3 car will be charged by ABB Formula E race chargers ahead of the race and between sessions

Sustainability

Natural rubber and recycled fibers will make up 26 per cent of new Gen3 tires and all tires will be fully recycled after racing. As of Season 9, Hankook are the new Technical Partner and Tire Supplier of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, replacing Michelin.
Linen and recycled carbon fiber will be used in bodywork construction for the first time in a formula car. This will reduce the carbon footprint of the production of the Gen3 bodywork by more than 10 percent.
The carbon footprint of the Gen3 has been measured from the design phase to inform all reduction measures taken to reduce environmental impact, while all unavoidable emissions will be offset as part of Formula E’s net zero carbon commitment.

Battery

Gen3 batteries are among the most advanced, sustainable batteries ever made consisting of sustainably sourced minerals, while battery cells will be reused and recycled at end of life
