The 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship grid is officially complete. As the series gears up for a landmark 17-race season, the longest calendar in its history and the final year of the GEN3 Evo era, the field features a blend of returning stars, proven champions, and exciting new talent.

Among the latest additions is Spanish rising star Pepe Martí, who steps into Formula E after two standout years in FIA Formula 2. The 20-year-old Barcelona native arrives with an impressive junior résumé, including three wins and four podiums in Formula 3, followed by four wins and eight podiums during his F2 tenure. Martí’s arrival continues Spain’s growing presence at the top level of electric motorsport.

Also joining the grid full-time is Felipe Drugovich, who occupies the second Andretti seat. The 2022 FIA Formula 2 Champion has sampled Formula E machinery before through rookie tests and a pair of outings with Mahindra in Berlin, but now makes his permanent debut under a multi-year deal. At just 25, Drugovich already brings international success across single-seaters and sports cars.

Another major promotion comes for Joel Eriksson, upgraded from Jaguar TCS Racing’s reserve role to a full-time drive with Envision Racing. The Swede already has 10 Formula E starts to his name across previous appearances with Dragon in 2021 and as Envision’s substitute driver in Berlin last season.

Several former champions return to the grid in new colours. Jean-Éric Vergne, Formula E’s only two-time Drivers’ Champion, leads Citroën’s historic debut in single-seaters, while Season 6 champion Antonio Félix da Costa takes on a new challenge with Jaguar TCS Racing.

Reigning World Champion Oliver Rowland remains with Nissan, Pascal Wehrlein continues with Porsche, and veterans Sébastien Buemi and Lucas di Grassi stay loyal to Envision and Lola Yamaha ABT, respectively. Nyck de Vries and Jake Dennis also return with Mahindra and Andretti.

The depth of talent for Season 12 is arguably the strongest the series has ever seen.
