* AlliterativeName: Scott Speed, Rene Rast, Kamui Kobayashi.
* BattleInTheRain: The 2019 Paris [=ePrix=] was certain to be the first in the series to ever be held in wet conditions. The race started under sunny weather but clouds moved in quick, [[CueTheRain the rain starting halfway through the race]] only for the commentators to notice in an instant that no, it wasn't just raining, it was ''[[SerialEscalation hailing]]''. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome And then came the crashes...]]
** Another CueTheRain happened in the final laps of the 2019 Swiss [=ePrix=], but everyone still running managed to hold position, if not battle for higher, until the checkered flag.
** Yet another CueTheRain happened during the 5-minute full course yellow of the first 2022 New York City [=ePrix=], though it was a local shower on Turns 6 and 7. The race would eventually be red-flagged and had to be stopped due to excessive damage to the track's barriers.

** [[PopularityPower FanBoost]] [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience (pink)]] takes it to a literal level by giving the top 5 boosted drivers greater power output for a few seconds in the back half of a race.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Scott [[MeaningfulName Speed]], Sam Bird, Simona de Silvestro, Jean-Éric Vergne, Alexander [[VideoGame/TheSims Sims]]. Among others.

* CarPorn: FE media ''loves'' this trope. Kinda invoked because of their aim to promote all-electric vehicles. Taken UpToEleven when you see the single-seaters fight each other so closely that it ''feels'' like literal porn.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Formula E cars, while they have instant torque delivery, have much lower top speed than UsefulNotes/FormulaOne and [[UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans sports]] cars. UpToEleven when you see two battling cars so close to each other that the one behind just about loses their front wing camera.

* FoeYay: According to Simona de Silvestro once upon a Mr. and Mrs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7-LKsfyNU8 video]], Robin Frijns and António Félix da Costa. No points for guessing who became Andretti teammates after she left.
** Robin's 2018-19 teammate Sam Bird [[HoYay has even admitted his jealousy]] of this camaraderie.

* SpotOfTea: Making the perfect cup has become an art form for Sam Bird, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwUG-zMvDNk#t=1m39s here]] and especially [[https://twitter.com/FIAFormulaE/status/987626998804627456 here.]]
