Formula E, privately owned and headquartered in the UK, was founded in 2012 and operates with approximately 300 employees. The company specializes in spectator sports, specifically a single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars.
Formula E is actively exploring potential venues in Australia and New Zealand for a new open-wheel electric racing series, with CEO Jeff Dodds confirming the search on October 9 following Andrew Forrest's purchase of a team. Perth has emerged as a contender for a street race that could rival the Melbourne Formula 1. Previously, on October 8, Formula E broadcast and media technology director Hamish Harris joined the SVG Europe Audio’s 2026 Sports Audio Summit. He and Formula E's audio tech partners are slated to discuss shaping the sound of immersive and inclusive audio as the Gen4 car debuts. This follows the announcement on October 7 of a multi-year partnership naming COMSOL the Official Multiphysics Partner of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The collaboration integrates multiphysics simulation, digital twins, and AI-assisted modeling into electric race car engineering challenges, with engineers planning to use COMSOL Multiphysics® to investigate complex technology issues.
