E1 Series prepares its entry into motorsport with a unique, innovative proposal that will surely captivate the attention of many people. Rodi Basso is one of the masterminds behind the project as co-founder together with Alejandro Agag, a sustainability pioneer and electric categories such as Formula E and Extreme E.
For Basso the outlook is clear: “The future is electric, it’s not an option, it’s a responsibility”. That was one of the many true sentences offered during the first episode of the documentary (Inside E1) showing E1 Series internally. Everyone is working together to create something unique to make a positive impact on the planet.
“We want to celebrate an important element of our history: water. We are pushing the boundaries of technology in pursuit of a better world.” The water electrification challenge is not an easy one, but projects like this open the door and clear a path to making it happen.

For this, teamwork is important, especially having people who are 100% dedicated to the project, and believe in what they are contributing to bring E1 Series to life. “We want to build a global championship. It’s great to see all the people, the motivation reflected in their eyes about what is happening.
Alongside Rodi Basso is Alejandro Agag, who has also transferred all his ingenuity to be present at a new sustainable category, but this time without wheels. “The goal is to create a platform to connect all the changes taking place. We are doing something completely pioneering. The new adventure is E1.”
Agag’s proposal is captivating, to see an exciting electric boat race on the most important element for life to exist on Earth, accompanied by the best natural landscapes. “Imagine the bottom of a city, the Amazon jungle or Antarctica. E1 wants to bring electric boat racing to rivers, lakes, oceans.”
Rodi is aware that this is more than just a new sport, so anticipation is at high levels ahead of the 2023 debut, where a new page will undoubtedly begin to be written in terms of sport, purpose and sustainability.
“I don’t want to box it into just a sporting event, there is so much more there, so much in terms of legacy, impact, in how we will partner with our entire supply chain and organization, in order to contribute to a more sustainable future; something very important to us. I would say design by design, from the concept of the championship to the boat itself”.
