History

The UIM E1 Series is a Union Internationale Motonautique-sanctioned, all-electric international offshore powerboat racing series. The UIM E1 World Championship was launched to pioneer sustainable racing on water using electric-powered boats. Since its inception, E1 has hosted events in various global cities, positioning itself as the world's first electric powerboat series.
Lagos was confirmed in early 2025 as the first African host city. The announcement was made with the involvement of international sporting figures, including former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba who joined Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to unveil Lagos as the host city.
