History

Formula E has raced in China multiple times, with the Beijing ePrix serving as the opening race for the first and second seasons 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]
