In 2017–2018, Mortara drove for the Venturi Formula E team. In the first weekend of his Formula E races in Hong Kong, his performances stood out as a rookie as he finished seventh after charging from the field in the first race.

In 2018–2019, Mortara would concentrate on the Formula E series and drive for the Venturi team again. In the fourth race of the season, he scored his first podium finish of the season in Mexico. And on 10 March 2019, he claimed his first FE victory for himself and Venturi team in Hong Kong. It was a hard-earned victory for him on a track that last year saw him throw away a victory when he was comfortably leading.

After his win in Hong Kong, a string of bad luck and poor reliability had put Mortara out of the championship contention. In Sanya, he was almost taken out by a three-car shunt between Buemi, Frijns and di Grassi and thrown out of points after receiving a sixteen-second time penalty for failing to activate the attack mode. Then, in Rome, a drive shaft failure forced him to retire when he was running a strong sixth. In Paris, he crashed from seventh position in the rain and eventually collided with Alex Lynn (which gave him a three-place grid penalty in the next round).

In Monaco, an overtaking incident withJérôme d'Ambrosio damaged Mortara's front suspension and resulted in the untimely end to his race.

In Bern, after setting competitive times and clocking the second fastest time in the 2nd free practice, the team made some wrong choices in qualifying. Mortara would finish in a frustrated 11th. just outside the points eventually. Then, in Bern, a brake failure issue caused yet another retirement for him and in turn gave him another five-place grid penalty for the New York round.

In the first race in New York, Mortara overtook more than ten cars after his grid penalty and was fighting for ninth position before being taken out by Max Gunther. In the second race, he qualified well in the top-ten. But a front brake caliper failure forced him to retire early yet again.

However, Mortara still finished season 5 as the highest-placed Venturi powertrain driver with 52 points (Massa 36 points, Vandoorne 35 points and Paffett 9 points).

In the 2019–2020 season, Mortara started the season well with a solid seventh place in the first race in Diriyah. He then narrowly missed out on the podium by finishing fourth in the second race there. In Santiago, bad luck hit Mortara in his qualifying lap asRobin Frijns spun in front of him that costed him his chance of superpole. In the race, he was forced to retire from fifth place after contact with Da Costa.

In Mexico, Mortara had another solid performance by claiming eighth place in the race. In Marrakesh, he qualified well in fifth and performed brilliantly by finishing fifth in the race after battling with Buemi and Lotterer.

In the six races in Berlin after the COVID-19 pandemic, the Venturi seemed to lose its competitiveness against the manufacturer teams. However, Mortara still finished in points in three of these races.

In the end, Mortara finished season 6 with 41 points and comprehensively outscored his teammateFelipe Massa by 41–3 points.

Mortara started off the season with a strong second place in race one inDiriyah. The next day during free practice however, he suffered a freak incident. After doing the practice start procedure, his car lost brake pressure, causing him to go straight into the barriers at turn 18. Mercedes, who supplied theMercedes-Benz EQ powertrains to the team, were forced to sit out qualifying along with Mortara's ownROKiT Venturi Racing car. They later stated that an incorrect software parameter meant the rear brake system did not activate as intended and the fail-safe did not kick in. Mortara was released from the hospital but opted not to partake in race 2.^[5]

InRome, Mortara's car refused to power up in qualifying and he was forced to start at the back of the grid in race one. Things did not improve for the race and he was an early retirement with damage after hitting a slowingSérgio Sette Câmara as theDragon / Penske dived for the pitlane. On Sunday, however, he qualified seventh and scored a solid fourth place after battling hard withMaximilian Günther'sBMW.^{[citation needed]}

In the first race of theValencia ePrix, Mortara was taken out byLotterer in the rain and then ran out of energy as most cars did in the final stage of the race. On Sunday, he charged through the field to take ninth place and score another two points.^{[citation needed]}

In theMonaco race, all Mercedes-powered cars were not as competitive as expected. Mortara qualified in the midfield after his qualifying run in group 2. He charged his way up to ninth position until the second last corner only to be hit from behind, and thus narrowly missed out on points.^{[citation needed]}

In the first race of thePuebla ePrix, Mortara qualified a strong sixth after coming from group 2. He got past both BMWs in the race and finished on the podium for the second time in the season. On Sunday, he starred in qualifying again to take third on the starting grid. In the race, he held off Wehrlein to earn his second Formula E victory as he moved top of the standings in the drivers' championship.^{[citation needed]}

As the championship leader inNew York, bad luck stroke Mortara as he was unable to set a full-power qualifying lap after a switch on his steering wheel locked into place, and he had to start at the back of the grid as a result. He managed to get pass nine cars and eventually finished 14th. On Sunday, he was out of points after tangling withJake Dennis in the race.^{[citation needed]}

In London's first race, despite setting the fastest time in qualifying group 1, Mortara could only manage to start from 16th on the grid. He charged his way to finish ninth and claimed two points. In the second race, he started in the midfield again but stalled on the grid. He would eventually finish 11th.^{[citation needed]}

In the penultimate round of the 2020–21 season in Berlin, Mortara qualified a strong fourth. He was able to get past both DS techeetah in the race and threatened di Grassi's lead all the way until the chequered flag, with di Grassi just edging Mortara by 0.141s at the finish.^{[citation needed]}

Mortara thus entered the season finale second in the drivers’ table with just a three-point deficit toNyck de Vries. However, at the start of the race, a stalled Evans saw Mortara left nowhere to go and he smashed into Evans' car heavily. both title contenders were thus eliminated and Mortara sustained a fractured vertebra as a result of this collision.^{[citation needed]}

Nevertheless, Mortara still finished the season as the Vice-Champion in the 2020–21 season with 92 points.^{[citation needed]}

In season 8 of the Formula E season, Mortara bounced back and finished a strong sixth in the first race after his crash in the qualifying session in the Diriyah ePrix. In the second race, he qualified on the front row of the gird for the first time in his career.In the race, he got past the pole sitter Nyck de Vries and scored his third win of his career. His new teammate di Grassi finished third. This is the first ever double podium for the Venturi Formula E team.

In Mexico, Mortara qualified on the front row again. He took the lead from Pascal Wehrlein in the early stage of the race. However, his pace in the Venturi was not able to defend the faster Porsche and DS techeetah cars and thus he finished the race in fifth. He continued to lead the Formula E drivers' standings after three rounds.

The fourth and fifth rounds were held in Rome. All Mercedes-powered cars did not perform as well as expected. Mortara qualified both race in only 11th. Despite being give a five-second penalty for his collision with Rowland, he still climbed up the order and finished seventh in the first race. However, he was pushed by Da Costa and his car was broken in the second race.

In Monaco, he only qualified in the midfield but his race pace was really strong. He was able to make a comeback to P6 - until Di Grassi forced him off the track which resulted in a puncture and he had to retire. Team principal Jerome d'Ambrosio said that Di Grassi's move was unacceptable and disrespectful.

In the first race in Berlin, Mortara performed strongly and he took his first-ever pole position in Formula E by beating Alexander Sims in the final. He led the race from start to finish and took his second win of the season. On Sunday, he repeated his excellent performance in qualifying and took another pole in the reversed layout of the track. However, he was overtaken by Nyck de Vries at the start of the race. He went on to finish another strong second place in the race and took an extra point by clocking the fastest lap in the race.

The ninth round was held in Jakarta in Indonesia for the first time. In this brand new circuit, Mortara qualified well in fourth position. He was able to overtake Da Costa and was chasing Evans and Vergne for the win. At the chequered flag, he finished only 0.9 seconds behind Evans and had to settle for third place.

In the Marrakesh E-Prix, Mortara continued his strong form as he qualified on the front row of the grid. In the race, through the attack mode cycles, Mortara would take the race lead with Da Costa in pursuit. He kept his cool as both DS Techeetah drivers, Da Costa and Vergne, could not pass him in the later stage of the race. He won his third race of the season and hit the top of the Drivers' World Championship with this victory.

The 11th and 12th rounds were held in New York. In the first race, Mortara qualified in 9th position. He enjoyed a strong drive to finish fifth and claimed the fastest lap award but a five-second penalty was given to him after the race. This relegated the Swiss driver to ninth, meaning he earned just three points from the opening race of the Brooklyn double-header. On Sunday, a braking problem in qualifying had marooned Mortara at the back of the grid. In the race, he was able to recover to finish in tenth and claim another fastest lap award.

The two races in London were disastrous for Mortara. On Saturday, after qualifying 9th, he got sandwiched by Sam Bird and Da Costa in the first corner of the race. Mortara had to repair the damaged front nose and his race was actually over because of this accident. On Sunday, he only qualified in the midfield. As he was climbing up the field, he spun off the track while trying to pass Sam Bird. He eventually finished in 13th place after another five-second penalty.

In the season finales in Seoul, Mortara qualified sixth in the first race. In the early stage of the race, after being hit by Vergne, Mortara was given a five-second penalty for changing his racing line under braking. Bad luck struck again as he had a puncture in his rear tyre. This ended his race and his title challenge was over. On Sunday, Mortara bounced back strongly as he qualified on the front row. He got past Da Costa on lap 2 and never looked back. He led comfortably to win his fourth race of the season. In the end, he finished the season strongly in third place overall with 169 points.

Mortara was retained by Venturi, as it becomesMaserati MSG Racing from the2022–23 season onwards alongside a new teammate,Maximilian Günther.^[6]

The first round of the season was held in Mexico. However, the Maserati MSG Racing team's pace was not there during the whole weekend. He and his new teammate Guenther only qualified in the midfield and Mortara crashed out in the race.^{[citation needed]}

In the Diriyah E-Prix double header, the Maserati team continued to struggle as both cars crashed in the qualifying of race 1. Mortara had to start at the back of the grid. He was able to make good progress through the field before a puncture that forced him to retire. In race 2, Mortara bounced back strongly and qualified in a respectable seventh position. He ran as high as fifth in the early stages and finished in ninth. This brought the first points for the Maserati MSG Racing team.^{[citation needed]}

The next round was held in Hyderabad. Mortara qualified in seventh position again after another strong performance in qualifying. In the race, he crashed his front wing on lap 2. He charged his way from the back of the field after his pitstop and finished in tenth at the end of the race.^{[citation needed]}

In the Cape Town ePrix, Mortara started the ePrix strongly as he clocked the fastest time in the first practice and was second fastest in the 2nd practice. However, luck was not on his side as he hit the wall in the qualifying. His car was repaired on time for the race but he was forced to retire after one lap after another mechanical failure.^{[citation needed]}

The sixth round was held in Brazil. In qualifying, Mortara qualified strongly in fourth position. However, his hard work was ruined at the start of the race as he sustained front wing damage immediately after running into the back of Mitch Evans amidst a bunch up in Turn One. He was then forced to retire on lap 21 after being spun into the barriers by Abt's Nico Müller.^{[citation needed]}

The next two rounds were the double-header in Berlin. Mortara finished in ninth in the first race but suffered another DNF on Sunday's race.^{[citation needed]}

In the Monaco race, it was a classic example of his bad luck this season. Mortara qualified well in seventh, had been running in the points the whole race until his front wing was taken out by his teammate Guenther in the latter stage of the race. So, his race was ruined and left empty-handed again.^{[citation needed]}

In the two races in Jakata, Mortara qualified well in sixth and finished sixth in the first race. On Sunday, he qualified even better in fiurth. However, a technical issue happened while using the attack mode. He eventually crossed the finish line in eighth place.^{[citation needed]}

The next round was held in Portland. Mortara qualified in the midfield, but he climbed his way up to sixth position. With just two laps remaining, his teammate Günther hit him and he was forced to retire after sustaining a puncture in his tyre.^{[citation needed]}

The penultimate race weekend of Season 9 was held in Rome. This was the home race for both Mortara and his team Maserati. On Saturday, he qualified well in sixth. On lap 10 in the race, Sam Bird lost control of his car out of the rapid Turn 6. In doing so, he placed himself in the middle of the track. Mortara then hit into the side of Bird heavily and luckily he did not get hurt in this crash. On Sunday, he started in ninth and climbed his way up to fourth position, claiming his best finish of the season.^{[citation needed]}

The final weekend of season 9 was held in London. On Saturday, Mortara qualified 11th and made up 2 places on lap 1. Stoffel Vandoorne and E took him out at Turn 1 having run deep into the corner while passing Nissan driver Norman Nato. Mortara dropped to 22nd position. However, he slowly climbed his way up and finished an excellent fifth place at the chequered flag. On Sunday, a heavy downpour prior to the race saw the season finale commence behind the Safety Car. But the wet weather and shorter race distance heavily reduced the need to save energy, thus it was difficult to climb up the order. At last, Mortara finished 11th in the race.^{[citation needed]}

After spending six years with the team, Mortara and Maserati parted ways at the end of the season.^[7]

Mahindra Racing announced that Mortara would team up with 2020–21 Formula E championNyck De Vries for the2023–24 season.^[8]With his experience in transforming Venturi team into a title-contender, Mortara joined the team with the ambition of using his speed, experience, and race craft to help return to the team to winning ways.=

Mortara started the season with some solid performances in the first half of the season and aimed to improve the team's performance race by race. The first breakthrough came in the Tokyo ePrix. Mortara qualified in third and finished the race in sixth. However, he was later disqualified due to overconsuming on energy. It was caused by a problem with the software just fifteen metres from the finish line. Nonetheless, this showed that the team was on the rise.^{[citation needed]}

Then, the highlight came in Berlin. He qualified on pole for the first time with the Mahindra team. He finished eighth in the race and grabbed the first point of the season for the team as well.^{[citation needed]}

The second half of the season was much better on the whole for Mortara and the team. He would finish two more times in the points, with a fourth in Portland and a fifth in London.^{[citation needed]}
