Extreme E, known for its off-road electric vehicle racing series, is making a significant pivot towards hydrogen technology. The series recently announced its rebranding to Extreme H and unveiled the Pioneer 25, a hydrogen-powered race car that will mark the transition. The inaugural season of Extreme H is scheduled to commence in April 2025 in Saudi Arabia, with subsequent races planned in the UK, Germany, Italy, and the US. Extreme E, which initiated races in 2021 featuring electric off-road vehicles in challenging terrains like deserts, has attracted prominent teams such as McLaren. Alejandro Agag, the founder and CEO, highlighted the broader implications of the shift to hydrogen in a blog post, stating that the move represents not only a step towards e-mobility but also the creation of sustainable power solutions adaptable to different settings. Through the launch of Extreme H, the series aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of hydrogen as a fuel source while assessing the overall hydrogen ecosystem, including recharging infrastructure and transportation. The Pioneer 25, the flagship race car of Extreme H, operates on a 75kW hydrogen fuel cell, signaling a new era in eco-friendly racing.
