The Formula E season has concluded at the London E-Prix, marking the end of the GEN3 era before the series transitions to GEN4 and moves to Brands Hatch in 2027. The event also saw the retirement of series pioneers Sébastien Buemi, who moves to an advisory role for Envision Racing, and Lucas di Grassi, alongside the departure of DS Automobiles after 11 years.

Pascal Wehrlein of Porsche has secured his second Formula E Drivers’ World Championship, finishing the season with 169 points. He becomes only the second driver to achieve two titles, following Jean-Éric Vergne. The championship battle was decided in a controversial final race where Wehrlein was involved in a collision with Joel Eriksson. Stewards ruled Wehrlein responsible for the incident, which forced title rival Jake Dennis to pit for repairs. Dennis, who finished 18th in the race, ended the season in second place with 164 points, trailing Mitch Evans (160 points) in third.

Dennis described the circumstances surrounding the collision as ‘embarrassing’ after it effectively ended his title challenge. While Porsche took the drivers' title, Jaguar secured the Teams’ World Championship. The final race itself was won by Taylor Barnard of DS Penske, who became the youngest driver in Formula E history to win a race at 22 years and 76 days old.
