Team changes
[change | change source]British motorsport brand Lola announced its return to top-level motorsport for the first time since the 1997 Formula One World Championship. Lola will enter Formula E developing its own powertrain in cooperation with Yamaha.[1] This partnership will supply powertrains to ABT CUPRA, who had previously used Mahindra powertrains but ended that affiliation.
Driver changes
[change | change source]Season 8 champion Stoffel Vandoorne ended his contract with DS Penske after two seasons and joined Maserati MSG Racing in place of Maximilian Günther, who would sign with DS Penske, thereby completing a driver swap between the two Stellantis-owned outfits. Jehan Daruvala's contract at Maserati was also not renewed, with the team instead signing McLaren driver Jake Hughes. To replace Hughes, the team promoted reserve and developmental driver Taylor Barnard to a full time driver.
Andretti announced that Norman Nato would leave the team after a single season. His replacement was announced to be Nico Müller, who left ABT after two seasons with the team. Nato would later announce his return to the Nissan Formula E Team, with whom he last raced in 2023. He replaced Sacha Fenestraz, who left the team after two seasons.

Location changes
[change | change source]- The Misano ePrix was removed from the calendar, leaving Italy without a race in Season 11.[2]
- The Saudi Arabian rounds were relocated from the Riyadh Street Circuit to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, hosting the first ever Jeddah ePrix.[3]
- The Miami ePrix was reintroduced to the calendar, the first race in Florida since 2015, replacing the Portland ePrix. The event will move from the Biscayne Bay Street Circuit to the Homestead–Miami Speedway, which previously hosted IMSA GT Championship, the one-off Ferrari Winter Series for developmental single-seater drivers, and currently hosts numerous club races. It is unknown which version of the circuit will be used (with or without the banking). Regardless, at 2.18 miles (3.51 km) (without banking) or 2.27 miles (3.65 km) (with banking), it will be the longest Formula E circuit in history. [4]
- The Monaco ePrix will become a double header for the first time in the race's history.[5] The Tokyo ePrix will also be a double-header race.
- The Jakarta ePrix will return to the calendar, after a cancellation in season 10 due to elections in the country.
