Formula E has one huge issue: the tracks they race on. Street circuits with mostly 90 degree corners and not much overtaking opportunities. It is somewhat mitigated by the energy management aspect, where the following car can reduce their power for a while and then come back with a vengeance to grab the position.
The best Formula E race I've seen was the practice race before Season 1 at Donnington Park, a real racing track with sweeping, cambered corners fast and slow, uphills and downhills and a few big braking spots that allow for overtaking.
The world is full of race tracks that can't be used for Formula 1 any more, but would suit Formula E cars very well. Like Brands Hatch for example. Of course, the tracks are not usually suitable for large audiences or are at remote locations which makes it unappealing for the series from a business point of view.
