• Extreme E, the electric off-road racing series, is transitioning to using hydrogen-powered vehicles starting in 2025. The move is part of the series' goal to showcase sustainable mobility solutions and reduce its environmental impact. The series will be renamed "Extreme H" to reflect the shift to hydrogen-powered racing.
• The decision to switch to hydrogen power is driven by the desire to continue pushing the boundaries of clean technology in motorsports. Hydrogen-powered vehicles are seen as a more sustainable alternative to electric vehicles, as they produce only water as a byproduct and have a longer range. The series hopes to inspire the development and adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the broader automotive industry.
• The transition to Extreme H will require significant changes to the racing format and infrastructure, including the development of new hydrogen-powered race cars and the establishment of hydrogen refueling stations at the race locations. The series is working closely with various partners and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and the continued success of the championship.
