SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 3, 2025 – In a bold move that underscores the future of electric motorsport and sustainable mobility, Shell and the Nissan Formula E Team have extended their technical partnership for the FIA Formula E World Championship—signaling not just a win for the track, but for everyday EV drivers around the world.
This renewed collaboration continues a relationship that began in 2018 and has evolved into one of the most technically ambitious and environmentally conscious partnerships in the electric racing world. For eco-minded consumers and speed enthusiasts alike, this partnership isn’t just about lap times—it’s about pushing the boundaries of how electric mobility can look, feel, and perform in real life.
Powering Progress in Every Lap
At its heart, this partnership is built on a shared vision: performance without compromise and sustainability without sacrifice. Shell brings cutting-edge e-fluids and technical expertise to the Nissan Formula E garage, ensuring peak performance in the most demanding conditions.
But this isn’t just high-tech wizardry locked away in a race car.
- The same e-fluids used on the track are influencing next-generation EV products for everyday cars.
- Nissan’s Formula E experience feeds directly into the development of future consumer EVs—think smoother drives, longer battery life, and smarter energy management.
- Shell’s work in fast-charging and zero-emission technologies aligns with consumer expectations of fast, efficient, and green mobility solutions.
More Than Just Motorsport
Why does a race partnership matter to someone who just wants a reliable EV for their commute?
Because Formula E isn’t just about speed. It’s a live, high-stakes testing ground for the kinds of technologies that will shape the EVs we drive tomorrow. From battery temperature control to regenerative braking optimization, each race is a learning lab.
This means what starts in a high-speed curve on a city track can eventually result in better range and comfort during your weekday errands.
A Partnership Fueled by Purpose
Nissan’s ongoing commitment to electrification, led by its Formula E program, finds a like-minded partner in Shell—particularly as Shell continues to invest in low-carbon mobility. Together, they’re not only chasing podiums, but also pioneering scalable tech that benefits everyday drivers.
The partnership reflects:
- A commitment to net-zero goals
- A shared push for sustainable performance
- A mutual belief in innovation as a climate solution
As the Formula E season heats up, fans will be watching for victories. But those of us off the track should also be paying attention—because the real win might just be in how this tech trickles down to your next EV purchase.
How This Benefits Everyday EV Drivers
Here’s how this elite racing partnership might improve your daily drive:
- Better Battery Efficiency: Lessons learned from high-intensity racing help optimize charging cycles and thermal control.
- Extended Component Life: Advanced lubricants reduce wear, potentially lowering long-term maintenance costs.
- Faster Charging Networks: Shell’s expansion of EV infrastructure means more fast-charging stations in urban and rural areas.
- Smarter Energy Use: Data collected from race simulations contributes to smarter regenerative systems in future road cars.
This isn't just a deal between a racing team and a fuel brand—it's a signal that sustainability and performance no longer live in separate worlds. Whether you're cheering from the stands or plugging in at home, this partnership keeps the electric revolution moving—fast.
