“It is my belief that over the next five years we will see more changes in the automotive world than in the last three decades. Formula E has recognised & reacted to these trends & the championship's exciting & pioneering approach is the perfect fit for our brand.” – Nick Rogers, Group Engineering Director for Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover have plans for electric road cars too.
