Nissan accelerating electrification through Formula E racing

Formula E, the world's sole all-electric single-seater FIA World Championship, provides an elite motorsports platform for leading automotive manufacturers to accelerate EV innovation and brings dramatic racing to the heart of some of the world's most iconic cities.

Nissan has a long and successful history in both motorsports and electric mobility. Determined to showcase its cutting-edge, zero-emissions EV technology before a global audience, Nissan made its all-electric racing debut in Season 5 (2018/19) of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. It's the first and only Japanese automaker to enter the series.

Mastering the art of energy management

Nissan tapped its many decades of EV expertise to create its all-electric Formula E race car. Knowledge gained from an estimated 28 billion kilometers driven by LEAF customers played a key role in the design of our racing software.

In turn, the lessons learned on the racetrack are helping shape our next generations of EVs.

For example, one of the secrets to success in Formula E is efficient energy management. The development of ultra-efficient battery management software for our electric race cars has led to better intelligent power solutions for our road going EVs.

Nissan Formula E Team sets sights on Season 11

Nissan Formula E Team has paired Oliver Rowland and Norman Nato to form an experienced and competitive driver lineup for the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Expectations are high for Rowland, who racked up two victories in Season 10, including a win in the final event of the year at his home race in London, UK. He also scored two pole positions and five further podium finishes on his way to ending the season in fourth place.

Nato returns to the team for the first time since Season 9, when he was a regular in the points and scored the team's first podium of the GEN3 era and under full Nissan ownership at the 2023 Rome E-Prix.

Season 11 will see the debut of GEN3 Evo technology, making the cars even quicker and more efficient than their predecessors. The new season’s calendar will feature 16 races, including a debut visit to Miami, a return to Jakarta, a double-header in Monaco and the second Tokyo E-Prix — Nissan Formula E Team's home race.

Oliver Rowland

Making his Formula E series debut in Season 5, Rowland hit the ground running, making his presence known during each round and racking up two podiums plus taking home the Rookie of the Year award. He continued to score points and podiums for the Nissan team through Season 7. He raced for Mahindra for the next two seasons before returning to Nissan Formula E Team in Season 10, where Rowland had his best season yet, with two victories (Misano and London) and five further podiums. With the momentum of Season 10, Rowland looks to make his mark again for Season 11.

Norman Nato

Norman Nato returns to the team for Season 11 after a year away. The 32-year-old Frenchman had a stellar junior career, winning races in Formula Renault 3.5 Series, GP2 Series and FIA Formula 2, while also taking an overall second place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020. Back with his familiar Nissan team, Nato is determined more than ever to fight for the front of the grid and solidify his place on the podium.

Formula E GEN3 Evo race car

The GEN3 Evo race car is the series’ most advanced all-electric race car yet. Building off the previous two generations, the GEN3 Evo car is capable of 0-60mph in just 1.82 seconds, which is 30% quicker than a current F1 car and 36% faster than the previous GEN3 car.

Another key addition with the new GEN3 Evo cars is the introduction of all-wheel drive (AWD) which will be available during qualifying duels, race starts and ATTACK MODE. This feature maximizes acceleration and control, helping to elevate the thrill of critical race moments and enhancing both performance and strategy.

Optimized all-weather Hankook iON tires help to provide 5-10% more grip and are made from 35% recycled and sustainable materials.

The GEN3 Evo race car is designed to offer the best wheel-to-wheel racing while being the world’s first net zero carbon race car in the world’s first net zero carbon sport.
