Formula E race descends into farce as half the field runs out of charge

The FIA Formula E Championship descended into farce in Valencia, Spain, over the weekend, with around half the field running out of charge before the chequered flag fell.

The chaos ensured after several Safety Car periods during the race. Under Formula E regulations, the amount of energy a driver may use is reduced when a Safety Car intervention is needed.

With the race scheduled to last for 45 minutes plus one lap, five separate Safety Car periods throughout conspired to reduce the amount of energy available, by a total of 19kWh, meaning that over half the field was left floundering without enough charge in their batteries to complete the race distance.

Only 12 cars were running at the fall of the chequered flag, with several of those slowing on the final lap to conserve what remaining energy they had.
