criticism
The GFL / EPP - Group applied for the end of January 2019 a foray in Bern City Council that the organizer Swiss e-Prix Operations Ltd for the first edition of the race green energy rather than as usual with glycerin -run diesel generators to use for charging the batteries of the vehicles. The city council agreed, but Energie Wasser Bern had not yet received a corresponding order as of February 2019.
The SP and the Green Alliance positioned themselves in advance against hosting the race.
Before the race, city president Alec von Graffenried told the media that the Bern municipal council was "disappointed" with the organizer. Not all of the conditions that were required for the approval of the race were met in full. This applied to ensuring public transport and the accessibility of the quarter.
On June 20, 2019, a Critical Mass with around 1000 participants took place on the racetrack. This led to vandalism , with the demonstrators damaging several advertising banners attached to the route. As these had to be attached to the track boundary for contractual reasons, the organizer had to fly in new advertising banners from London the following night. In addition, according to media reports, power cables and cables for TV transmission were also cut. The property damage incurred is said to amount to 400,000 Swiss francs (around 360,000 euros).
