In select races next season, Formula E will test a 30-second rapid charging stop

Charging is typically one of the least thrilling aspects of driving an EV, but the FIA believes it can improve these pauses. Formula E will test a 30-second “Attack Charge” at select races in the ninth season as part of new regulations. Thanks to a 600kW booster, new battery technology will provide automobiles with 4kWh of energy from a half-minute session. The charging stop will be necessary at a certain time in the race, although drivers will be compensated with two “increased” Attack Mode intervals later in the race.
