Team changes Stellantis withdrew its DS Automobiles brand from Formula E after 11 seasons, ending a partnership with Penske Autosport that had lasted for the last four. Opel will enter a 12th team, Opel GSE Formula E Team, joining Citroën as the two Stellantis representatives. The Penske operation was acquired by Australian mining and energy company Fortescue, who will enter under the Fortescue Zero Racing guise, using Jaguar powertrains.
In November 2025, Porsche stated its intent to field a second factory team for Season 13 after halting its FIA World Endurance Championship programme. In September 2026, the project was paralysed and turned to a new customer team, provisionally dubbed NewCo.
Andretti Global ended its partnership with Porsche after four seasons and switched to Nissan powertrains for Season 13 onwards, replacing the customer slot previously used by the former McLaren team.
Online payments company Paysafe was announced as the title sponsor of Envision Racing, renamed as Paysafe Envision Racing for Season 13.
Lola Cars ended its partnership with the Abt Sportsline team after two seasons and ran its cars from a newly-expanded Silverstone base.
Driver changes The Lola Yamaha Formula E Team will have an all-new lineup. Lucas di Grassi, the only driver to have entered every Formula E event, announced his retirement from professional motorsport despite having a contract with the team, while Zane Maloney also departed the team after two seasons to join the Nissan Formula E Team. At Nissan, Maloney will replace Norman Nato, who parted ways the team after three seasons.
Despite having a contract, Joel Eriksson left Envision Racing, having spent just a single full-time season at the team. Sébastien Buemi also stepped down as a driver, effectively retiring from Formula E after twelve seasons and a championship title, but remained with Envision in an advisory role. Envision signed Maximilian Günther, who left DS Penske after 4 years in the Stellantis stable, and promoted its simulator driver Zak O'Sullivan, who previously raced in Super Formula with Team Impul, to a race seat.
New team Opel GSE Formula E Team will field Mitch Evans, who departed Jaguar TCS Racing after ten seasons. The team's lineup will be completed by 2023 Formula 2 champion and Peugeot Hypercar driver Théo Pourchaire, who will make his Formula E debut after rookie tests with Maserati and Citroën in past seasons.

ePrix locations
Location changes
Formula E will make its debut at Circuit of the Americas for the inaugural Austin ePrix, at Circuit Zandvoort for the inaugural Zandvoort ePrix, and at Brands Hatch, which will replace the ExCeL London Circuit as the new venue for the London ePrix. The Madrid ePrix, which ran a single race in the 2025–26 season, will become a double-header event.
Regulation changes
Technical regulations Formula E's fourth generation of technical ruleset will debut in the 2026–27 season. The new Formula E Gen4 car will be the largest, heaviest and most powerful car in series history. It will deliver a maximum of 600kW (804bhp) of power, compared to Gen3's maximum of 350kW (470bhp). Its battery capacity will also be increased by 43%, with drivers now allowed to deploy a maximum of 55kWh throughout a race.
The all-wheel drive that was previously only active during the race start and the attack mode phases will now be active at all times, a first in FIA-sanctioned single-seater motorsport. The cars will also be fitted with an active differential, traction control and anti-lock braking systems.
The new car will also have two different aerodynamic configurations, a high-downforce package and a low-downforce package.
Sporting regulations Together with the introduction of the new Gen4 technical framework, the race format for double-header events was changed. The first race of a double-header weekend, now called 'E-PrixUnleashed', will be a 30-minute sprint race without pit stops and with six minutes of attack mode, where the cars will be using the high downforce aero setting they also use in qualifying. The second race of the weekend, just called 'E-Prix', will be a 45-minute race with a mandatory pit stop and eight minutes of attack mode, where the cars will be using the low downforce aero setting.
The Attack Mode can now be paused during a race suspension (Safety car, Full Course Yellow, or red flag) at the driver's instruction. The remaining Attack Mode time resumes once the driver passes through an activation zone, now simply called the 'Attack Zone', again under green-flag conditions.
The points system was also amended, with qualifying now awarding points for every driver that reaches the duel stages, with additional points awarded for winning duels.
