The 2023 London ePrix, known for sponsorship reasons as the 2023 Hankook London E-Prix, was a pair of Formula E electric car races held at the ExCeL London Circuit in the Royal Docks area of Newham, London on 29 and 30 July 2023. They served as the 15th and 16th rounds of the 2022–23 Formula E season and the 5th running of the London ePrix.

Pole-sitter Mitch Evans won the first race for Jaguar Racing, however Jake Dennis clinched the title finishing second, with Sébastien Buemi completing the podium.^[1] After two red flags due to heavy rain, Nick Cassidy won the second race from pole, with Mitch Evans and Jake Dennis in second and third.^[2]

Background

Jake Dennis led the championship into the final round, with 195 points. Nick Cassidy was second, 24 points behind and Mitch Evans 44 points behind in third. Pascal Wehrlein also entered the final rounds in championship contention with 146 points, 49 behind Dennis.^[3]

Since the last event, the layout of the ExCeL London Circuit was changed. The old turns 17 and 18 became a straight, reducing the circuit length to 2.086 km (1.296 mi).^[4]

The maximum usable energy during the race will decrease from 38kWh to 27kWh, in order to create more strategic racing.^[5]
