The FIA has confirmed the planned cost limit for Formula E's new generation car that will be introduced for its fifth season later this year, as well as outlining the🔯 deadlines for manufacturers to register their entries to the all-electric championship.

Formula E will phase out its current generatio🐟n of cars that have raced since its inception in 2014, with their replacements set to be able to complete a whole race on a single battery charge. At present, drivers are forced to switch cars halfway through the race due to battery limitations.

In a document issued by 🌱the FIA on Friday, manufacturers were informed that their cars must cost no m🌳ore than €817,300, broken down as:

• Battery - €200k
• Chassis - €299.6k
• Halo - €12.7k
• Powertrain - €250k
• Administrative fee - €55k
• TOTAL - €817.3k

The document also confirmed that indepe🐓ndent teams are now required to secure a contract with a manufacturer for a powertrain supply by January 15 of the year that the new season starts.

As a result, the two r꧟emaining independent teams in Formula E, Techeetah and Virgin Racing, are required to notify the FIA of their ma𝕴nufacturer link-up for Season 5 in the next 10 days.

Virgin Racing currently w𓃲orks with French manufacturer DS, a sister brand to Citroen, but is un🐬derstood to be set to part company at the end of season four. A switch for DS to Techeetah, which is currently in the process of relocating to Paris, would then follow.

The FIA also confirmed that manufacturers wishing to ♏race in Formula E from Season 6, starting in the winter of 2019, must have registered their interest via a proposal by February 1, 2018.

Merceꦬdes and Porsche have both announced plans to enter Formula E from Season 6, with final confirmation set to arrive in the autumn of 2019 when their cars have been homologated.
