History

Formula E has raced in China multiple times, with the Beijing ePrix serving as the opening race for the seasons 1 and 2, the Hong Kong ePrix serving as the opening race for the seasons 3 and 4 and held for the final time in 2019, and the Sanya ePrix being held in 2019. There was supposed to be a race in Sanya in 2020, but this was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]

The Shanghai ePrix was announced as part of the calendar for the 2023-24 season on 19 October 2023. [1] It would be held as a double header, with the second race substituting for the Jakarta ePrix, which was cancelled due to the upcoming presidential election. [3]

Circuit

The race is being held on the Shanghai International Circuit, the same venue that hosts Formula One's Chinese Grand Prix. [1] The track layout has been altered to remove the long back straight, instead cutting across from Turn 9 to the pit straight with a chicane beforehand. [4]
