McLaren Racing have signed an option to compete in the electric Formula E championship from 2022-23, the Formula One team announced on Monday.
The British-based team will spend 2021 assessing the feasibility of joining the series for season nine, when a lighter and more powerful Gen3 car makes its debut with faster charging.
BMW, whose team are run by U.S.-based Andretti Motorsport, and Audi have both announced they are leaving the series at the end of this year.
Formula E, a recognised FIA-backed world championship, allows a maximum 12 entries.
