Conceived in 2011, Formula E has now reached its tenth anniversary. Boasting 11 teams and 22 drivers, this racing series features single-seater vehicles akin to Formula One's open-cockpit design. The batteries powering Formula E's current generation generate up to 350 kW of power, allowing drivers to reach a maximum speed of 320 km/h (199 mph), closely approaching F1's top speed. Though Formula E may lack the prestige or funding of F1, it serves as a distinctive and crucial testing ground for emerging battery technology, which could ultimately benefit the entire electric vehicle sector.

Experts are already watching some new battery developments. One is fast charging. Formula E vehicles use ultra-fast DC charging to reach top speeds, while passenger EV's use a slower AC charge that provides greater range. Still, many automakers in the commercial EV industry are keen to gain insight into Formula E charging technology as it rapidly evolves.
