Abt Audi Sport driver Lucas di Grassi held off Jean-Eric Vergne to take victory in the first Montreal ePrix, taking over the championship lead.
The Brazilian driver looked in control of the race early on, before a late safety car brought Techeetah driver Vergne into contention for the eight-lap sprint to the flag.
Jose Maria Lopez’s crashed DS Virgin Racing brought the BMW i8 safety car out, cutting di Grassi’s comfortable lead and allowing Vergne to attack on the restart.
He darted left and right on the final lap to try and find a way ahead, but di Grassi held on to finish 0.350s ahead of Vergne and claim his second win of the season.
Stephane Sarrazin made it a double podium for Techeetah in third, but he had to withstand intense pressure from Sebastien Buemi in the closing laps.
Buemi started 12th after a 10-place grid drop for a battery change, and had a poor start, being shuffled back to as low as 17th on the opening lap.

Despite damaged steering, he fought back into the top 10 and rose to eighth on the restart after the Full Course Yellow pitstops. From there, he continued to move up the order.
However, at times, it looked as if he was struggling slightly in the repaired second car – after his FP2 crash – but in the final stages he fought back to fourth.
Daniel Abt and Buemi came close in the pits and there was contact at the exit, and the German driver followed his rival through the field to fifth.
New York winner Sam Bird jumped places in the pitstop and rallied from a poor grid slot to sixth, ahead of the second Renault e.dams of Nicolas Prost.
Mitch Evans was eighth for Jaguar, while a car change just as the FCY ended dropped Adam Carroll out of contention.
Robin Frijns was ninth, while Felix Rosenqvist lost a potential top four result with contact at the final chicane while chasing Sarrazin. With damaged steering, he fell to 10th.
