Jani will replace Audi DTM racer Loic Duval, with d’Ambrosio being retained – he has raced for the team since the very first FE race in 2014.
“I am thrilled to join the Faraday Future Dragon Racing team in the next season of the FIA Formula E Championship,” Jani said.
“I’ve recently tested the PENSKE EV-2 powered by Faraday Future and look forward to building my knowledge and experience with the team and competing in the acclaimed electric racing series.”
