Regulation changes

Attack Charge will be introduced starting at the Misano E-Prix.[42] This new feature will see drivers take a mandatory pitstop in a specific window during the race. During this stop, which must adhere to a minimum time for safety reasons, the car will be recharged using a so-called Boost Charger connected to the rear of the car. After this stop, drivers are awarded two attack mode boosts and will also be allowed to use an extra 4kWh of power throughout the rest of the race.[43] This feature was originally planned to be introduced in season 9, but after delays in production of the fast charging units it was postponed until season 10.

Any time penalty received by the drivers must now also be carried out the next time the driver enters the pit lane for a pit-stop or attack charge.[44]

Season report

Pre-season

Pre-season testing took place at Valencia on 23–27 October 2023. Jaguar cars topped all three sessions, with Mitch Evans fastest in the first two and Nick Cassidy fastest in the final session. The traditional simulation race was topped by Envision's Robin Frijns. The test was heavily disrupted by a battery fire in the garage of battery supplier Williams Advanced Engineering, caused by a faulty battery. One and a half days of running were cancelled, and the Mahindra cars parked in the garage adjacent to the fire sustained heavy damage. Nyck de Vries' car was too damaged to participate in the rest of the test, with the team being compensated with an extra private test session ahead of the season opener in Mexico City.[45][46][47]
