A little over eight months ago, the FIA proudly announced the newest beast in the Formula E armoury: the third generation of race cars in the all-electric championship, the giant leap forward which would be a milestone in the series’ progress towards being a tier one sport.
That Gen3 EV is now three races, and lots of testing, into its lifespan - one intended to run for four years all told. It isn’t just about making the cars smaller and lighter (both achieved) or even faster (somewhat up for debate), but also about increasing their efficiency.
