In support of the title partnership, ABB this year became official charging partner of the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, which races with the ABB Formula E championship. ABB Terra 53 DC chargers power the I-PACE SUV racecars throughout their race weekend.
As the world leader in electric vehicle infrastructure, ABB has sold 10,500 DC chargers, including high power chargers up to 350 kW, across 73 countries – more than any other manufacturer. ABB entered the EV-charging market back in 2010 and offers the full range of charging solutions for electric cars, electric and hybrid buses as well as electrification solutions for ships and railways.
Ahead of the 50th round of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, heavy morning rain left the track surface damp and treacherous for competitors. But a thrilling race resulted in victory for Sam Bird, of Envision Virgin Racing, with Edoardo Mortara (Venturi) second and Lucas Di Grassi (Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler) third.
The series’ global tour will continue in two weeks with a first race in Sanya, which marks a return for the championship to mainland China for the first time since 2015.

FGS Global launches 2026 Radar Report: "A Rewired World"8.1.2026 11:00:00 CET | Press release
The post-war global order is fragmenting into spheres of influence as strongman leadership and transactional relationships replace multilateral cooperation, according to FGS Global's Radar 2026 report released today. FGS Global’s Radar is based on 175 in-depth interviews with senior global leaders and policy experts from the worlds of business, politics, academia and media and wide ranging, nationally representative polling of approximately 20,000 people across the US, Canada, the member countries of the European Union and Japan.
