A member of the Sweden Junior National Team of Motorsport, Andersson started her career inkarting before switching torallycross in 2018 after a five-year hiatus.[5] She made her way up the national motorsport scene, including a wildcard appearance at the 2019 RallyX Nordic season finale, and finished runner-up in the JSM (Junior) class of the 2020 Swedish Rallycross Championship, driving a BMW 120.[6] The following year she made the step up to the SM (Senior) 2150 class, unexpectedly winning the title in her first season in a field that consisted of more than 50 drivers.[7][8]
After impressing in theFIA RX2e Championship,[9] where she achieved a best finish of 4th atSpa-Francorchamps from two rounds,[10][11] and in theExtreme E rookie test,[12] Andersson was signed byXite Energy Racing to partner team ownerOliver Bennett for the2022 Extreme E season.[13][14] However, she contractedCOVID-19 shortly before the opening round inSaudi Arabia and was replaced by the championship's female reserve driverTamara Molinaro.[15] Molinaro was eventually retained by the team, with Andersson taking her place as reserve. The Swede would make her long-awaited Extreme E debut in September at the fourth event of the season, theCopper X-Prix inChile, standing in forJutta Kleinschmidt, who injured herself during free practice, atAbtCupra XE.[16] Together withDakar Rally legendNasser Al-Attiyah, Andersson took third place, thus achieving a podium finish on debut.[17] Andersson joined SUN Minimeal Team for the2024 season as Abt Cupra XE left the series.[18][19] On 6 September, a week before the scheduled Island X-Prix, Extreme E announced that the rounds in Sardinia and Phoenix were cancelled.[20][21]
