Formula E will race in Portland for the first time in 2023 to ensure the United States remains on the calendar in season nine of the electric racing championship.
Previous E-Prixs in America have been held in Brooklyn, New York but renovation work at the dockside venue meant that it is unable to host an event in the coming season – one that will feature all-new cars.
The decision was confirmed at a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council, with the calendar set to feature 16 races across 11 countries from January to July.
Countries like India, South Africa and Brazil are set to host their first E-Prixs, while the full Monaco Grand Prix layout also returns.
The Gen3 cars will feature in-race re-charging for the first time, with drivers being forced to swap cars mid-race in Gen1, while there is a power boost from the Gen2 era which closed at the end of season eight.
