Driver changes

Calendar

The following ePrix are contracted to form a part of the 2021–22 Formula E World Championship:[36]

The Seoul ePrix was first scheduled for the 2019–20 season, but was cancelled twice because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mexico City ePrix made a return for 2022, once again at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, after the race relocated to Autódromo Miguel E. Abed in Puebla in 2021. A new event, the Vancouver ePrix, was scheduled to be held on the site of the former Champ Car and IndyCar race, the Molson Indy Vancouver, utilising a different layout to those used previously.

On 15 October 2021, the calendar was updated, with the planned Cape Town ePrix cancelled for unknown reasons in favor of the Jakarta ePrix.[37]

On 15 December 2021, the calendar was updated again, in which the Rome ePrix and the Berlin ePrix were once again made into double-header events, as was the previous season.[38]

On 23 April 2022, the Vancouver ePrix was cancelled by the race organizers.[39] On 11 May 2022, the Marrakesh ePrix was announced in its place for the same 2 July date slot.[40][41]

Regulation changes

Qualifying format

A new qualifying format has been introduced, where the drivers are split into two groups based on their position in the championship, those in odd-numbered places go into group A, whilst those in even-numbered places go into group B. The exception is in the first race of the season, where each team could nominate one driver into each group. Each group gets a 10-minute session to set a fastest lap at 220kW, of which the top 4 of each group advance to the duels stage, where drivers face off head-to-head at 250kW over a quarter-final, semi-final and final. The winner of the final then lines up in position 1, the loser of the final in position 2, the losers of the semi-final in positions 3 and 4, and the losers of the quarter-final in positions 5 through 8, in order of time set in their respective sessions. The rest of the drivers from the group stage then form alternately from position 9, with the polesitter's group in the odd places, and the other group in the even places.[43]
