Following approval from the FIA, TrulliGP has been granted the 10th team entry for the inaugural Championship, following the withdrawal of Drayson Racing.
Drayson Technologies will be entering into a supply and sponsorship arrangement with TrulliGP to be the squad's principal technology partner. As part of the deal, TrulliGP will begin work on Drayson's wireless charging technology - which offers the potential to free electric vehicles from the constraints of cable-based charging.
Trulli said: "I am pleased that the FIA selected TrulliGP to be part of Formula E. Having gained fantastic experience as a driver in Formula 1, my involvement in Formula E will certainly be a new challenge, not only as a driver but also as a team owner. Competing at the highest level of performance with a clean energy car makes this challenge even more exciting."
