The main difference is range, the F1 race lasts over twice as long.

The top speeds aren't that far apart.

FE still flies the crew and cars all over the world, it's hardly eco-friendly.

Top speed has little to do with racing.

“ The outright pole lap record around Monaco in an F1 car came in 2019 with Lewis Hamilton clocking a 1:10.166, while the fastest qualifying lap in Formula E in 2023 was Sascha Fenestraz’s 1:28.773, several seconds slower than what the Formula 2 cars manage around the same circuit.”

Formula E is downright slow compared for F1
