The 2022 Mexico City ePrix was a Formula E electric car race held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in the centre of Mexico City on 12 February 2022. It served as the third round of the 2021–22 Formula E season and the sixth edition of the event, and marked a return to the venue after it was used as a field hospital for COVID-19 patients, and subsequently replaced by the Puebla ePrix, in 2021.[1]

Pascal Wehrlein won the race from pole to claim his and his team's first ever Formula E victory, leading a Porsche 1-2 from teammate André Lotterer and Jean-Éric Vergne.[2]
