Bird had led at various points during the Brazilian event having started fifth on the grid, but was forced to concede the lead to Evans six laps from the end as energy management and overheating became critical.
But on the final tour of the 34-lap race, which was extended by three laps following two safety-car periods, Bird made his move having shadowed Evans.
Approaching the fast left-hand kink of Turn 10, Bird moved to the outside as Evans defended and completed the move around the outside into the 90-degree left of Turn 11 to take the lead on the penultimate bend.
It marks Bird’s first Formula E victory since 2021 when he won in New York with Jaguar, having lost his seat with the British brand for this season.
Evans took his first podium of the season in second, while behind there was a final corner change of position as Oliver Rowland made it back-to-back podiums for Nissan, a beautiful switchback on the final bend allowing him to pass both Jake Dennis and Pascal Wehrlein.
Polesitter Wehrlein was completely unchallenged off the line and pulled out a significant lead on the opening lap, while behind Stoffel Vandoorne maintained station in second.
