• After a year away, 2020–21 series champion Nyck de Vries returned to the sport with Mahindra to replace Roberto Merhi.^[34]

McLaren driver Sam Bird sustained a hand injury in a crash during the opening practice session of the Monaco ePrix. He withdrew from the event and was replaced by McLaren reserve and development driver Taylor Barnard, who already drove for the team in the rookie practice session ahead of the Misano ePrix and became the youngest driver to start a race in Formula E.^[44] Bird's injury means he was also forced to miss the Berlin E-Prix double-header, with Barnard continuing to deputize.^[45] Bird returned from the Shanghai E-Prix onwards.^[46]

Multiple drivers missed the Berlin ePrix double-header because of a calendar clash with the FIA World Endurance Championship's 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. Both Envision Racing drivers prioritized their WEC commitments and were replaced by GT driver Joel Eriksson, whose last Formula E race was for Dragon / Penske in the 2020–21 season, and Hitech Pulse-Eight Formula 2 driver Paul Aron.^[14] Mahindra Racing's Nyck de Vries also missed out on Berlin and had Mahindra reserve and development driver Jordan King take his place.^[35] ABT CUPRA once again had their reserve driver Kelvin van der Linde replace Nico Müller for the Berlin round.^[28]

Nissan driver Oliver Rowland fell ill ahead of the Portland ePrix. He was replaced by the team's reserve driver, Indy NXT competitor Caio Collet, who made his series debut.^[47]

The following ePrix formed a part of the 2023–24 Formula E World Championship:

• The Cape Town E-Prix, the Jakarta E-Prix and the Rome E-Prix were not held in 2024. There originally was a plan to reschedule the Jakarta round in the wake of a general election period, but it was ultimately rejected.^[48]
• The Tokyo E-Prix joined the calendar and became the first time an FIA World Championship visited the city.^[49]
• The Shanghai E-Prix joined the calendar and became the first time the championship raced in China since the Sanya E-Prix in the 2018–19 season.^[48]
• The Misano E-Prix joined the calendar, replacing the Rome E-Prix.^[50]
• The Portland E-Prix hosted a double header after having hosted only one race in 2023.^[50]
• The Hyderabad E-Prix was originally set to be held on 10 February 2024, but was cancelled due to a change in governance for the region.^[51]

The Manufacturers' Cup was introduced ahead of the São Paulo ePrix, with the championship standings backdated to the start of the season. The highest-placed two cars per powertrain manufacturer per race scored points towards that manufacturer's position in the standings, using the same points system as already implemented for the Drivers' and Teams' Championships.^[52]

Pre-season testing took place at Valencia on 23–27 October 2023. Jaguar cars topped all three sessions, with Mitch Evans fastest in the first two and Nick Cassidy fastest in the final session. The traditional simulation race was topped by Envision's Robin Frijns. The test was heavily disrupted by a battery fire in the garage of battery supplier Williams Advanced Engineering, caused by a faulty battery. One and a half days of running were cancelled, and the Mahindra cars parked in the garage adjacent to the fire sustained heavy damage. Nyck de Vries' car was too damaged to participate in the rest of the test, with the team being compensated with an extra private test session ahead of the season opener in Mexico City.^[53][54][55]

Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein took pole position for the season-opening Mexico City E-Prix ahead of Envision's Sébastien Buemi.^[56] He kept his lead at the start of the race and quickly made an effort to take his two attack mode activations. After he had dropped behind Buemi for his second attack mode, the safety car was called for Frijns hitting the wall in turn 18. On the restart, Wehrlein regained the lead when Buemi took his second attack mode, while Jaguar's Nick Cassidy got into third when Maserati's Maximilian Günther did the same. Cassidy's teammate Mitch Evans, who ran fifth and lacked pace compared to the front group, acted as a roadblock, keeping a train of cars behind him. This meant the upper positions remained static for the rest of the race, with Wehrlein taking a controlled victory, albeit under investigation for a possible technical infringement.^[57] This concerned the throttle maps used at the start, with concerns of a use of traction control, but Wehrlein was later cleared to keep his win.^[58][59]

The Diriyah E-Prix double-header began with DS Penske's Jean-Éric Vergne on pole position.^[60] ERT's Sérgio Sette Câmara made a strong start from fourth, but had no space to go and fell back behind Evans in second and Andretti's Jake Dennis in third. Vergne fell to second as he took his first attack mode, and he and Evans made contact when the latter then also activated his a lap later. This allowed Dennis to gain a place into second after the first round of attack modes. He continued this trend through the second round and came out in the lead ahead of Vergne. Evans in third tried to use his attack mode to regain lost ground. He took second, but then ran off into turn 18 multiple times, first when attempting to take the lead from Dennis, then when defending from Vergne and a third time on the final lap, which allowed Cassidy through into third.^[61] By this time, Dennis' advantage stood at 13 seconds, and with Wehrlein coming eighth, Dennis' win now saw him only a single point behind the German in the standings.^[62]

One day later, it was Nissan's Oliver Rowland who took pole position.^[63] His lead was short-lived, however, as he got a bad start and was immediately passed by Frijns. Cassidy also overtook him when he took his first attack mode, with the Kiwi then closing up to Frijns and taking the lead when the later activated attack mode. Cassidy then built a gap to Frijns before coincidentally taking his first attack mode right when Frijns took his second. This then allowed him to take his second attack mode right after the first ended and stay in first place. From that point on, the second half of the race saw the order remain largely static, with Cassidy managing his gap to Frijns and Rowland and never coming under serious pressure before taking the win. Both championship leaders had difficult races, with Wehrlein starting in tenth and finishing seventh and Dennis starting 14th and finishing outside the points.^[64] Cassidy's win allowed him to take the championship lead, 18 points ahead of Wehrlein.^[65]

Next up was the São Paulo E-Prix, where Wehrlein was back on top in qualifying.^[66] DS Penske's Stoffel Vandoorne started in second, but did not attack Wehrlein at the start before the energy-preserving peloton-style racing set in. This phase of the race, where leading was a disadvantage as it took more energy, saw the leading group trade first place as they took turns diving off the racing line to activate their attack modes. This group included Wehrlein, Vandoorne, Porsche's António Félix da Costa, Vergne, Evans and McLaren's Sam Bird. This phase was interrupted by championship leader Cassidy crashing into the wall after his damaged front wing was lodged under his car. Evans led at the restart, and with energy saving now no longer a priority, began defending from Bird while simultaneously managing a battery issue. On the final lap of the race, Bird made his move on Evans to take the lead and McLaren's first Formula E win.^[67] With Rowland in third and Wehrlein fourth, Cassidy's points lead was reduced to only three points.^[68]

The Tokyo E-Prix marked Formula E's debut event in Japan, and Rowland took pole position for Nissan's home race.^[69] He was forced to defend from Mahindra's Edoardo Mortara, who had started third and got past Günther. Rowland kept the lead and was able to activate his first attack mode when Günther tried to regain second place from Mortara. With the Swiss then taking his first and Rowland his second attack mode, Günther was shuffled into the lead. This turned into second after his first attack mode, and ten laps from the end Günther managed to surprise Rowland with a lunge into turn ten and take the lead. He built a gap to be able to keep first place through his second attack mode. Mortara had dropped down to fifth by that point, and Rowland was unable to retake the lead despite laying heavy pressure on Günther.^[70] Dennis took third on the final lap. Wehrlein and Cassidy both had rather anonymous races to come fifth and eighth, which meant the German now held the championship lead by two points.^[71]

Misano marked the beginning of the season's European leg, and Evans took pole position for the first race.^[72] The circuit proved to be the most energy-critical yet, with the peloton-style racing reaching new heights. First place changed hands almost every lap, with half the field leading at some stage of the race. This pack racing led to multiple contacts between drivers, forcing both championship leaders to pit for new front wings. Bird was once again among those who looked to have a chance to win before he had to retire after sustaining a rear-right puncture. Six laps from the end, da Costa was leading and began upping the pace, with Rowland following him. The pair traded top spot before da Costa secured the win, with Dennis third.^[73] After the race, da Costa was disqualified for a minute technical infringement on his throttle damper springs.^[74] Porsche protested, a process that would last until late June, when the FIA would reject the appeal.^[75] With Wehrlein and Cassidy not scoring, Rowland took the lead of the standings.

Points were awarded using the following structure:

The highest-placed two cars per powertrain manufacturer per race scored points towards that manufacturer's position in the standings.
