The format used in qualifying has been slightly altered, with the two group stage sessions shortened from twelve to ten minutes each. The requirement for every driver to set a laptime in the first half of group qualifying has also been removed.[39]
Races including a mandatory pit boost stop now require drivers to only take attack mode once instead of twice.[39]
After the pre-season test for the 2024–25 season had to be relocated toCircuito del Jarama due toflooding in Valencia, Formula E returned toCircuit Ricardo Tormo ahead of the 2025–26 season, with six sessions held on 27–30 October.Mahindra'sEdoardo Mortara posted the fastest time of the test in the penultimate session, leadingNissan's defending championOliver Rowland,DS Penske's new signingTaylor Barnard and the second Nissan ofNorman Nato, with the top four separated by less than a hundreth of a second and the whole field less than 0.9 seconds apart.[43] The test once again featured a mock race which was also used to test yellow flag and red flag procedures during pit boost stops and was won byPorsche'sNico Müller.[44] Like in the season before, the official pre-season test was followed by an all-female test, this time consisting of two separate sessions.F1 Academy driverChloe Chambers posted the fastest time for Mahindra, ahead ofAbbi Pulling's Nissan.[45]
Porsche'sPascal Wehrlein was fastest in qualifying for the season-openingSão Paulo ePrix, but a penalty demoted him to fourth on the grid and allowedAndretti'sJake Dennis to start the race first. Dennis, Mortara, Wehrlein, Nato andJaguar'sAntónio Félix da Costa formed the top group in the opening stages, with Rowland andCitroën'sJean-Éric Vergne joining the lead battle through the first round of attack mode activations. The two Nissan drivers collided on lap 17, with Nato suffering a puncture. Citroën'sNick Cassidy rose through the field after taking his second attack mode. A clash between Mortara andLola'sLucas di Grassi on lap 22 caused a safety car, with all leaders bar Dennis already into their second attack mode. That allowed him to take attack mode and the lead once racing resumed, butCupraKiro'sPepe Martí then misjudged a full course yellow thrown for Jaguar'sMitch Evans. He heavily collided with two other cars, flew into the air and caused a red flag. Dennis led the one-lap resumption, winning ahead of Rowland and Cassidy.[46]
Pole position for theMexico City ePrix went toEnvision'sSébastien Buemi ahead of Barnard after the latter's final lap was judged to be outside track limits and deleted. Buemi went straight on at the opening corner and dropped to the back, handing the lead to Barnard before Wehrlein took over at the front after being the first to activate attack mode. That saw him fall back down the order later on, however, before a retirement for Mahindra'sNyck de Vries caused an interruption on lap 17. That favored the drivers who had not yet taken their attack mode, among them Cassidy, who took a six-minute activation to rise from outside the top ten into the lead. He led a queue of cars that all had four minutes of attack mode left, while he had only two. Still, he was able to fend off Mortara and Dennis over the final laps, with Rowland using the battle at the front to get past Barnard into fourth. That turned into third when Dennis ran out of energy at the end of the race, while Cassidy held on to win Formula E's 150th race and claim the championship lead.[47][48]
Müller secured his maiden Formula E pole position in the series' inaugural qualifying session around theMiami International Autodrome.[49] Rain ahead of the race saw the field start behind the safety car, with a standing start afterwards. Andretti'sFelipe Drugovich was the first to take attack mode, using it to claim the lead as the top seven broke away from the rest of the field. Müller and Drugovich traded first place, each trying to conserve energy, before Da Costa and Evans also joined the fight. The latter had taken his first attack mode on lap nineteen to rise up the field and end up third. The Jaguar drivers ran side by side entering lap 24, with Evans moving into second behind Müller. Da Costa was then removed from contention when Drugovich outbraked himself and ran into his back on lap 26. Evans took the lead from Müller with a great move on lap 27, holding on throughout the final round of attack modes to secure a record-breaking fifteenth Formula E win. Wehrlein took third to close up to two points behind Cassidy in the standings.[50]
