Team changes
British motorsport brand Lola announced its return to top-level motorsport for the first time since the 1997 Formula One World Championship. Lola will enter Formula E developing its own powertrain in cooperation with Yamaha.[12] This partnership will supply powertrains to ABT, who had previously used Mahindra powertrains but ended that affiliation.[5]
Driver changes
Season 8 champion Stoffel Vandoorne ended his contract with DS Penske after two seasons and joined Maserati MSG Racing in place of Maximilian Günther, who would sign with DS Penske, thereby completing a driver swap between the two Stellantis-owned outfits.[13][9][11] Jehan Daruvala's contract at Maserati was also not renewed, with the team instead signing McLaren driver Jake Hughes.[14][15][11]
ABT Lola announced that Nico Müller would leave the team after two seasons.[16]
Andretti announced that Norman Nato would leave the team after a single season.[17]

The new car will also contain an active front power train to be used in qualifying, the race start and during attack mode, increasing acceleration and power output.[23]
Sporting regulations
The Manufacturers' Cup introduced in season ten will become an official FIA trophy, the Manufacturers' Title.[1]
