The 2022 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2022 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 74th Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season.
This was the last season of Energica being the sole supplier of the World Cup as they withdrew from the Cup after the season, with Ducati taking their place as the new sole manufacturer starting 2023.
Dominique Aegerter clinched the championship after a crash from Eric Granado during race 1 in Misano, his first MotoE crown.

Grand Prix locations
Calendar changes
The Finnish Grand Prix scheduled for July was cancelled in May due to incomplete homologation works and the risks associated with the geopolitical situation in the region surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Austrian Grand Prix used a new layout of the Red Bull Ring, wherein a chicane was added to the previous fast slight-left hander of turn 2. This was done to improve the overall safety of the track by greatly minimizing the speed the riders take the turn. The final configuration was chosen among 15 proposals, with the track being 30 meters longer than the previous configurations.
