The Jaguar driver entered the current campaign as one of the championship favourites, having challenged for the all-electric title over the past three years.
While new team-mate Nick Cassidy has hit the ground running, taking three podiums including a win last time out in Diriyah, which put him to the top of the standings, Evans has had a less than ideal start.
The Kiwi was only able to finish fifth in the season-opening Mexico City E-Prix due to a steering issue and finished in the same spot again in Diriyah after losing out on a podium position on the final lap.
Finger trouble in qualifying for the Diriyah E-Prix sequel put him back on the grid as he was only able to salvage 10th, leaving him already 36 points behind Cassidy.
“On a pure pace point of view, it’s all there I just haven’t been able to convert, which has been a bit disappointing,” he told Autosport, as Evans led a Jaguar 1-2 in FP1 in Brazil.
“Coming back here after winning last year it obviously gives me good vibes but the race is going to be really challenging to manage. I think anything can happen but it’s still early doors.
