Formula E awards championship points to the top ten finishers in every E-Prix, on a sliding scale:
25 – 18 – 15 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 6 – 4 – 2 – 1
The winner takes 25 points, second place 18, third 15, and so on down to a single point for tenth. Finish eleventh or lower and you leave with nothing.
Two bonus points are available beyond the finishing order:
- 3 points for taking pole position — a real prize, given how hard pole is to win through the knockout Duels qualifying format.
- 1 point for the fastest lap of the race — but only if that driver also finishes inside the top ten, so a quick lap from the back of the field earns nothing.
Points are awarded the same way at every round and accumulate across the season to decide the Formula E World Championship.
