The future of Extreme E had been in doubt amid talks of a transition to hydrogen power, but the championship had stopped short of explicitly stating that it would not continue alongside Extreme H in 2025.
A column by managing director Ali Russell, posted to its website earlier this week, mentioned that hosting a first event in the United States as the 2024 finale "will be a fitting way to round off Extreme E".
Speaking in the Business Forum at the Autosport International Show on Thursday, Extreme E's utilities manager Andy Welch confirmed that the championship which began in 2021 is set to conclude at the end of the season as work progresses on the new Spark Racing Technologies-built hydrogen prototype that completed a successful first shakedown last month.
"If you’d asked that question two years ago it would be likely that it would be both," Welch replied to a question from Autosport on the future of Extreme E.
"The Extreme H prototype is testing now, the championship will be in ’25.
"Extreme E will come to an end at the end of ’24.
"It’s a different car, different championship, same format. And Extreme E as it is, will stop."
Former Formula Ford team boss Welch later explained that logistical challenges were not a factor in the decision to bring Extreme E's four-year tenure to a close.
