The Tokyo ePrix is a future race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The race will be held for the first time at a to-be-determined circuit on the 30 March 2024.[1]

History

Tokyo was one of the first cities contacted by Formula E before its first season, with co-founder Alberto Longo attending meetings with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government since 2013.[2] The event has been seen as a way of achieving Tokyo's goal to ensure all new automobiles are non-gasoline by 2030, with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike stating that "the championships will give momentum to spread zero-emission vehicles".[3] After nearly a decade, a preliminary agreement was reached between Formula E and the Tokyo Government on 4 October 2022 to hold a race in the spring of 2024, with the race being officially announced on the provisional calendar on 20 June 2023.[4][1]
