Extreme E is an off-road electric car racing competition that focuses not only on sports entertainment but also on promoting environmental awareness and sustainability around the world.
Founded in 2021 by Alejandro Agag, this initiative seeks to drive the development of clean technologies and draw attention to the impacts of climate change in different regions of the planet.
One of the most notable aspects of Extreme E is its focus on bringing races to climate crisis-affected areas such as the Arctic, Amazon, Sahara Desert, and Indian Ocean Islands.

In doing so, it achieves a dual purpose: offering an exciting racing spectacle while showcasing the specific environmental issues of each region.
Extreme E Projects
In addition to the competition, Extreme E works on projects focused on reforestation, species conservation, and ecosystem restoration, collaborating with scientists and local organizations to leave a positive impact in the areas they visit.
Their commitment to a sustainable future is also reflected in their operations; they use the St. Helena ship to transport vehicles and equipment, thus minimizing their carbon footprint.
Finally, through this environmentally committed approach, Extreme E envisions a sustainable sports future by creating a platform for fans and brands to support sustainability both in motorsports and daily life.
