Andretti switches to Nissan power for Formula E GEN4 era

Switching powertrain suppliers is always a calculated risk, and Andretti is betting that aligning with Nissan as their sole customer team gives them a structural advantage heading into a new technical era. The GEN4 regulations represent a clean-sheet opportunity where early development input can matter more than in a settled formula, which is exactly what team principal Griffiths is pushing to secure before pre-season testing in November. Being the only customer means undivided manufacturer attention, but it also means the team carries more weight if the package underperforms — there is no other data point to hide behind. How much genuine influence Andretti can exert on development before testing begins will be the real indicator of whether this is a true partnership or a supply arrangement with better branding.
