Keep: although it is two years away, the arrival of Porsche and Mercedes is significant. Porsche will discontinue the Porsche 919 Hybrid project&mdash;which uses hybrid technology&mdash;from the World Endurance Championship; with Audi having already left, Toyota is the only manufacturer in the WEC, so the full consequences of Porsche's defection to Formula E remain to be seen. Likewise, Mercedes compete in Formula 1, which also uses hybrid technology, and while they are committed to the series (for now), their announcement comes at a time when Formula 1 is negotiating the 2021 engine regulations. All of this has triggered a wider discussion about what the future of motorsport is going to look like as Formula E is becoming manufacters' preferred test bed, especially in light of announcements from the French and British governments that they will ban cars with combustion engines in the next few decades. The bottom line is that while it might be very early to create the article, it's incredibly significant in the context of global motorsport. As a precedent, the 2014 Formula One season article was created two years in advance of the season as the regulation changes that were introduced for 2014 were a massive overhaul of the engine formula.

 * Delete WP:TOOSOON. Whatever User:Prisonermonkeys is talking about can be discussed on Formula E for now. Power~enwiki (talk) 04:42, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Some may say that it would be too soon and immientaly say delete but with the mention of Porsche and Mercedes coming in, this could easily change the tides of Formula E. So I am going to side with User:Prisonermonkeys on this one. Matt294069 is coming 02:18, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
