The Porsche Formula E Team, formally known as the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, is a German motorsport team that competes in Formula E, a championship organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The team made its debut in the series at the 2019 Ad Diriyah ePrix, which opened the 2019–2020 Formula E season. It achieved its first race victory at the 2022 Mexico City ePrix. Porsche's factory team secured its first Formula E Drivers' Championship at the 2024 London ePrix, with Pascal Wehrlein. The team also won the Teams' Championship and the Manufacturer's Championships in the 2025 season, with both titles being decided at the 2025 London ePrix.
History
In July 2017, Porsche confirmed that it would leave the FIA World Endurance Championship at the end of the season in order to focus on their Formula E programme, which was set to begin in the 2019–2020 season.[1] This decision meant that Porsche would enter the Formula E at the same time as the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team, although the latter had already competed in the 2018–19 season through its affiliated team, HWA Racelab.
Entering FE and achieving success in this category are the logical outcomes of our Mission E road car programme. The growing freedom for in-house technology developments makes FE attractive to us. For us, FE is the ultimate competitive environment for driving forward the development of high performance vehicles in areas such as environmental friendliness, efficiency and sustainability.
— Michael Steiner, "Porsche quits WEC LMP1 class for Formula E programme, Autosport.com (28 July 2017)[1]
2019–2020 season
In December 2018, Neel Jani was announced as the first driver to compete for the new team.[2] Brendon Hartley was also involved in the development of the new car.[3] Porsche subsequently evaluated whether to sign the inexperienced Hartley on a full-time basis.[4]
In July 2019, Porsche announced former Techeetah driver André Lotterer as its second driver.[5] In September, Porsche confirmed Simona de Silvestro and Thomas Preining as development drivers, following Hartley's signing with GEOX Dragon.[6]
On 1 March 2020, Preining and Frédéric Makowiecki participated in the Marrakesh rookie test, with Preining setting the fifteenth-fastest lap time and Makowiecki finishing last of all drivers who took part in the test.[7]
2020–2021 season
In August 2020, Porsche announced that Pascal Wehrlein who had previously competed for Mahindra Racing, would join the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team for the 2020–21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, partnering with André Lotterer. Wehrlein replaced Neel Jani, who stepped away from the Formula E program while remaining involved in Porsche's broader motorsport activities.[8]
2021–2022 season
At the Mexico City ePrix, Pascal Wehrlein secured both his and the team's maiden victory after starting from pole position. The team also achieved its first one-two finish, with Lotterer finishing second.
2022–2023 season
António Félix da Costa was signed to replace Lotterer and partner Wehrlein. Alongside the sister team Andretti Formula E, Porsche's powertrain proved dominant in the early part of the season, with Wehrlein winning both Diriyah rounds and leading Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
The team secured two further victories, with Félix da Costa winning the Cape Town ePrix and Wehrlein claiming victory in Jakarta. However, inconsistent results and limited qualifying pace ultimately cost the team the championship lead.
2023–2024 season
Porsche retained their driver lineup of Pascal Wehrlein and António Félix da Costa. The team performed strongly throughout the season, with seven victories shared between the two drivers. Their primary title rivals were Jaguar Racing, represented by Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. Although Wehrlein clinched the Drivers' Championship, Porsche finished behind Jaguar in both the Teams' Championship and Manufacturers' Trophy.
2024–2025 season
Both Félix da Costa and Wehrlein were retained for Season 11, with Wehrlein entering the season as the defending Drivers' Champion. Despite recording only one race victory, at the 2025 Miami ePrix with Wehrlein, Porsche clinched both Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships.
2025–2026 season
Nico Müller joined the team for Season 12, replacing Félix da Costa.
