The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is a single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars. It is somehow the electric equivalent of the Formula One World Championship. The racing series was conceived in 2011; the inaugural championship race was held in Beijing in September 2014. Since 2020, the series has FIA world championship status.
