Formula E prepares for testing with cargo gear and could return with breakpoints in 2023

The Brazilians are in the formula and are looking forward to 2023 with changing teams

Formula E will test a new fast-charging device next June between races in Jakarta and Marrakesh, and the class may return to stops in its disputes from next year. The pit stops were part of the sport for the first four seasons, but were abandoned after the implementation of the Gen2 cars. Now, with the introduction of Gen3s next year, they will likely be back.

According to additional information from English language portal The Race, teams presenting this category will have the opportunity to take a test – at an undisclosed location – in June using the new express shipping item, produced by Swiss company ABB.

The upcoming season of Formula E will feature the new Gen3 cars, which promise to be the fastest in the class’s history and also feature new technologies, such as the more efficient battery. In addition to faster recharging – which can be key to returning breakpoints – energy is managed more intelligently, which will increase the range of strategic possibilities.

Despite the novelty, not all characters on the network were enthusiastic about this possibility. Jean-Marc Fino, CEO of Stellantis Group – owner of DS and Maserati – wondered about the importance of the equipment and how it would be presented at the races.

The next stage of the championship is the Formula E kick-off in Jakarta, Indonesia, and will take place on June 4. Since the next race, in Marrakesh, will take place just a month later – on 2 July – the tests are expected to take place between one race and the next.
