Formula E car


The Formula E car is an open-wheel auto racing electric car, powered by an electric motor. The Formula E car is designed to take part in the FIA Formula E Championship.

Technical specifications

Even though the FIA originally planned for the category to be open to various chassis manufacturers, the only licensed Formula E model, for the inaugural season, was the Spark-Renault SRT 01E. The electric components are assembled by Renault while the chassis is designed by Dallara, and the car is assembled by Spark Racing Technology. The SRT01E was later opened up for private development by the teams in Season 2, for the motor, gearbox and suspensions
Spark-Renault SRT01E Specifications:
However, subsequently, it was decided by the FIA and Formula E Holdings to keep to a specification chassis, in March 2016, in a bid to keep costs in low in the category. The tender for the 2nd Generation car was won by Spark Racing Technology.
Spark SRT05e Specifications:
The original battery specifications included a cell-weight limit, a peak power limit, and a maximum usable energy of 28 kWh. For the 2018–2019 season, the specifications for the battery are a weight of 250 kg and 54 kWh energy, and peak power goes up to 250 kW. The cells are to be made by Murata Manufacturing, the integration by Lucid Motors, and track handling by McLaren.
A Formula E car is 10 decibels louder than an average petrol road car, or about as loud as a domestic vacuum cleaner.
