After an excellent start, Mitch Evans led the pack ahead of an aggressive Nyck de Vries. The first collisions were not long in coming, involving the two Maseratis. Jake Hughes came off worst, forced to retire, while his teammate, Stoffel Vandoorne, remained in the top ten.

Shortly afterwards, a chain reaction involved Maximilian Günther, Taylor Barnard and Zane Maloney. The latter two remained on the track, while the Penske driver had to end his race before the end of the first lap. Barnard complained about a lack of grip following the contact and immediately found himself out of the points, behind Sam Bird.

But his suffering was not over yet, as he was given a five-second penalty for an infringement under the Safety Car. His teammate Bird was the first to recharge with Pit Boost, followed by Vandoorne, Jean-Éric Vergne, Norman Nato and Sébastien Buemi.

After these chaotic first laps, in perfect Formula E style, the pace of the race stabilised until Lap 19. It was right at this point that Evans left the lead to take his first attack mode. Returning to the track, he found himself in fourth place, behind David Beckmann. The Kiro driver was the first ever to take Attack Mode.

By Lap 20, half the grid was already using the Pit Boost advantage, and almost everyone had taken at least one first Attack Mode.

Rowland wanted to wait to come in for the Pit Boost and did so on the next lap, along with Pascal Wehrelin, Evans, de Vries and Barnard. Among them, former World Champion de Vries came out ahead of the pack.

Jaguar's strategy worked very well for Cassidy but not so well for Evans. Cassidy managed to take the lead after overtaking de Vries, but not without contact.

On Lap 30, da Costa saw his wing damaged and was forced to return to the pits following a black flag with an orange disc.

Evans spun after being rear-ended by Dan Ticktum and dropped to 15th position. It was the British driver who triggered the second Safety Car.

Following a slightly optimistic braking manoeuvre while attempting to overtake Barnard, he ended up in the barriers. At this point, nine drivers had lost precious minutes of Attack Mode.

Race Control decided to add only one lap to the race, and Cassidy had to start his escape to secure a safe margin over de Vries.

After dominating Round 14 in Berlin, Cassidy climbed onto the top step of the podium for the second consecutive weekend. This result is perhaps not a surprise, as at the start of the race the New Zealand driver said over the radio that he had never felt better in his car.
