Hoggard, 24, will join fellow Briton Zak O’Sullivan to complete Envision Racing’s rookie driver line-up.
The British driver has been supporting the team during Season 11 as a simulator driver, and the test will offer a valuable opportunity to learn how the car handles and performs on track.
Hoggard's CV includes race wins and championship podiums in both British Formula 4 and Formula 3. His standout performances earned him the prestigious BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, which included a Formula 1 test as part of the prize.
Though Hoggard has not raced full-time in recent seasons, the team say he has remained sharp and race-ready through continued simulator work, making him well-prepared for this step into Formula E action.
“I’m super excited to take part in the Formula E Rookie Test with Envision Racing," said Hoggard. "I have been working with the team on the sim during the course of this year and it will be a good opportunity to further develop. I’m looking forward to getting started and also very thankful to the team for the opportunity.”
“We are pleased to offer this opportunity to Johnathan to participate in the rookie test with us," said Managing Director and CTO Sylvain Filippi. "He is a proven talented driver, and the test will be very helpful for him to learn more about the car and be able to correlate that back to his simulator duties.”
O'Sullivan returns after Jeddah outing
The Brit has played an important role for Envision Racing throughout Season 11, supporting the team with simulator work and contributing valuable data between race weekends to aid drivers Sébastien Buemi and Robin Frijns.
“I’m really looking forward to stepping back into Envision Racing’s Formula E car at the Berlin Rookie Test," says O'Sullivan. "I drove the car in Jeddah and really enjoyed it, so it will be nice having a full day in the car in Berlin to learn more about this car and racing series.”
“The all-day rookie test offers Zak a valuable opportunity to gain more experience behind the wheel of the GEN3 Evo car," said Filippi. "He’s been a strong asset to the team this season, and we’re excited to see him back in our car for the Berlin test.”
