“PIT BOOST”: THE NEW FORMULA E REVOLUTION FOR 2025 

Formula E and the FIA have unveiled one of the most exciting innovations for Season 11: “PIT BOOST” , an ultra-fast charging feature that promises to change the course of races and enhance on-track strategy. This innovation will debut at the Jeddah E-Prix, scheduled for February 14-15, 2025
.
WHAT IS “PIT BOOST” AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
“PIT BOOST” is a new fast-charging option that allows Formula E cars to receive a 10% boost in total energy (
3.85 kWh) in just 30 seconds, thanks to a 600 kW charging system
. This innovation introduces a crucial strategic element in competition: teams must decide between taking the recharge or maintaining track position
. The goal of this new feature is to showcase advances in fast-charging technology and reaffirm Formula E’s commitment to electric mobility
.
IMPACT ON RACE STRATEGY
With “PIT BOOST”, race strategy will change drastically. Drivers will have to assess the best moment to pit, risking losing positions in exchange for an energy advantage
. This could lead to more spectacular overtakes, greater unpredictability in results, and high-risk strategies
. “PIT BOOST” will be mandatory in one of the double-header races, with strict rules such as:
Only one car per team can use it at a time.
