If you’ve been enjoying the Formula E Unplugged Season 3 streaming content, it’s time to prepare for the 2024 Formula E racing season. Season 10 of Formula E racing starts Saturday, January 13, with the 2024 Mexico City E-Prix on January 13.

Why Formula E racing matters

Formula E racecars hit top speeds of more than 200 miles per hour, but they’re not as fast as F1 cars. The 2024 F1 racing schedule includes more races in more cities than Formula E, and F1 owns the bragging rights as the most elite motorsport. However, Formula E racing, with its all-electric race cars, is the only motorsport (so far) that doesn’t consume fossil fuels. Formula E races are much quieter without the roar of high-torque internal combustion engines.

Gradual changes in F1 Racing Regulations may transform F1 from its current hybrid ICE and electric power units to all-electric motors. However, Formula E was intentionally conceived to demonstrate the potential of sustainable mobility. The Formula E backstory started with a dinner in a Paris restaurant in March 2011 when FIA President Jean Todt and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag jotted notes for an all-electric race series on a napkin.

2024 Formula E Racing – Season 10

Formula E racing became a thing with Season 1 in 2014 and 2015. The 2024 Formula E racing Season 10 starts January 13 in Mexico City. This season is also the second year of the GEN3 race car, a lighter, smaller, and faster vehicle than the previous two generations.

The 2024 Formula E race calendar pits eleven teams of two drivers each in competition in 16 E-Prix races in ten cities worldwide. All E-Prix races are single-day events, unlike F1’s three-day events with practices,  qualifying events, and the race itself running from Friday to Sunday. Six cities in the Formula E schedule host two races on the same weekend. The remaining four towns host a single race.

First look: LiveWire's upcoming small electric motorcycle trail and street platforms
LiveWire previews two 125cc equivalent EV motorcycles at a Harley-Davidson event.

Harley-Davidson electric motorcycle spin-off LiveWire teased fans with a preview look at two small EV motorcycles during the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Details are sparse, with no model names, prices, or production dates. LiveWire shared photos and general information about the two small EVs on its official Instagram page.
Why LiveWire showed e-motorcycles in development

LiveWire sales have not taken off, so reaching out with a new platform to gauge interest and build excitement makes a lot of sense. Originally, LiveWire was a brand sold in Harley-Davidson dealerships before Harley spun it off as a separate company in 2021.  According to HD 2025 Q1 financials, LiveWire sold 33 motorcycles in the first quarter, for an overall $20 million loss.

Porsche hasn't yet launched its all-electric Cayenne SUV, but is sending a camouflaged version of the Cayenne Electric to various events and appearances to showcase its functional usefulness and outstanding performance to the world. Two specific exposures include setting a record for SUVs in a historic hill climb and releasing a video that demonstrates practicality in towing, both in Britain. The Cayenne Electric won't replace other powertrains, but will join the Porsche Turbo E-Hybrid and combustion models.
Towing a heavy load

Porsche released a video in which British TV personality and presenter Richard Hammond towed a 100-plus-year-old car on a trailer, driving a prototype of the Cayenne Electric. The antique car and trailer weighed about three tons, according to Hammond. The Cayenne Electric's 7,716-pound towing capacity was more than enough to handle the task.
