Formula E and the FIA have confirmed that the championship will reduce the financial burden on its teams amid the global health crisis by lowering development costs.
 
As part of the plans to reduce costs, Formula E, the FIA, the teams, and manufacturers unanimously agreed to postpone the launch of the Gen2 EVO car until the 2021-2022 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
 
Following an e-vote, the FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) ratified the decision to extend the homologation period, with manufacturers only able to alter powertrain components once over the next two seasons.

Teams can either introduce a new car in season seven for a two-year cycle or continue to use existing technology for the next season before homologating a new car the year after for a single season.

Formula E and the FIA have taken a flexible and collaborative approach to decrease spending, which will see car development costs cut by half over the next two seasons.
