The 2024 Extreme E Championship is the fourth season of the Extreme E electric off-road racing series. This will be the last season that the series uses battery-electric powertrains, before the transition to hydrogen fuel cell cars for the 2025 season. ^{[1] [2]}

Calendar

On 21 December 2023, the provisional 2024 season calendar was announced. Saudi Arabia and Sardinia returned from the previous year, the latter as a double-header, with a first trip to the United States replacing Chile as the season finale in America. There will be a five-month gap between the season opener in Saudi Arabia and rounds three and four, to take place at an unconfirmed location in Europe. ^{[3] [4]}

Race format

Minor format tweaks were made to accommodate the reduced number of cars. Each qualifying heat will now consist of four cars, with 10, 8, 6 and 4 intermediate points being handed out. Combined qualifying results at the end of both segments will now see the top four cars qualify for the grand final instead of the top five. Accordingly, the bottom four qualifiers will slot in the "redemption race" to decide positions fifth to eighth. One change was made to the points system, as the winner of the redemption race will now score 12 points, as many as the fourth-placed car in the grand final. ^[5]

Teams and drivers

The impending switch to hydrogen saw the grid shrink from ten to eight cars for 2024. Abt Cupra, Chip Ganassi Racing and Lewis Hamilton's X44 team all left the series, ^{[6] [7] [8]} as did Carl Cox Motorsport, who outlined intentions to return for Extreme H in 2025. ^[9] There were two new entrants: Jimmie Johnson-led NASCAR team Legacy Motor Club and Swiss-owned outfit SUN Minimeal, run by former Carl Cox driver Timo Scheider. ^{[10] [11]} All teams use one of the identical Odyssey 21 electric SUVs manufactured by Spark Racing Technology. Each team consists of a male and a female driver, who share a car and have equal driving duties. ^[12]
