Formula E could expand to four rounds in China as the all-electric championship chases growth in the world's biggest market for electric vehicles, according to series founder and chairman Alejandro Agag.



The Spaniard told Reuters on Friday that China, compared to the United States where President Donald Trump's administration has scaled back a number of EV incentives, represented a huge opportunity.



"Trump is really giving the space to China and China is only too happy to take it," said Agag, who has recently taken on a role of strategic advisor to the Motorsport Network media group.



"I was in China for the Shanghai Formula E race and every car I saw on the road was electric."



Agag argued Formula E should follow Formula One's successful North American expansion playbook -- with the combustion-engined series now boasting three U.S. rounds -- but with the focus on China.
