2017 saw Filippi join NIO in the all-electric FIA Formula E Championship alongside Oliver Turvey, where he picked up a point in his debut race with a tenth place finish in the 2017 Hong Kong ePrix. Despite a strong debut, Filippi failed to pick up another point during the season. He missed the Paris ePrix, so that Ma Qinghua could fulfil a contract deal. He scored just one point to Turvey's 46 and was dropped by NIO for the &lt;a href="2018%E2%80%9319%20Formula%20E%20season"&gt;2018/19&lt;/a&gt; season.
