Formula E had 561 million viewers globally last year. Learn how it is redefining global motorsport.

Recorded live, as part of our coverage of Energy Institute's International Energy Week in London, this episode features Tilly Wilkinson, Senior PR & Communications Manager at Envision Racing, discussing with our host, Alex Wolfe, why Formula E is growing so fast in 2026

⚡ 0–60 mph in 1.82 seconds
 ⚡ 40% of race energy regenerated during competition
 ⚡ 400+ million global fans
 ⚡ Gen4 cars launching next season

But this conversation goes deeper than speed.

We explore:

  • How Formula E blends elite motorsport with sustainability
  • The “Race Against Climate Change” mission
  • Why regenerative braking is central to race strategy
  • How EV racing influences real-world electric vehicle development
  • What makes Formula E different from Formula 1
  • Behind-the-scenes insight into a modern racing team

Formula E is now into its 12th season. It attracts major manufacturers, hosted in global city circuits (Monaco, London, Miami), and a rapidly expanding audience.

Is this the beginning of a motorsport shift?


Tilly Wilkinson is the Senior PR and Communications Manager for Envision Racing in the Formula E championship, based in the UK. She leads the team’s media efforts, focusing on promoting sustainability, electric vehicle technology and partnerships, including initiatives like the "Evo Sessions".
