Geely is taking a serious look at Formula E, with discussions ongoing for a potential entry in 2028. The company has several brands to choose from, including Lotus, which has a rich motorsport heritage. A Lotus-branded Formula E team could be a possibility, with Geely's executive vice president Victor Young meeting with senior Formula E leaders at the Shanghai E-Prix.
Geely's interest in Formula E is part of its growing motorsport strategy, which includes racing in the TCR World Tour with its Geely Preface touring cars. The company has a history of success in motorsport, including championship-winning campaigns in the World Touring Car Championship.
A potential Geely entry into Formula E could involve partnering with an existing team, with Mahindra and Lola being possible candidates. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds has spoken highly of Geely, suggesting that the company has a wealth of brands and has been hugely successful in motorsport.
