In January 2021, it was announced that Jenson Button had founded his own team for the newly established racing series. The name "JBXE" takes its name from the initials of Jenson Button, with the XE standing for Extreme E. It was initially announced that Button would be driving in the team himself^[2] alongside Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky. However, Button decided to step down as the driver of his own team after the team's debut race and was replaced by Kevin Hansen.^[3] With a second-place finish in the final race of the inaugural season, JBXE secured third place overall, beating the Andretti United Extreme E by 2 points.

In the 2022 season, Molly Taylor (round 1), Hedda Hosås (rounds 2 to 5), Kevin Hansen (rounds 1 to 4) and Fraser McConnell (round 5) raced for JBXE. The team finished the season in ninth place.

JBXE retained Hosås and signed Heikki Kovalainen for the 2023 season.^[4] Andreas Bakkerud replaced Kovalainen from round 3 til the end of the season.^[5] Hosås moved to McLaren XE for the final two rounds of the season to replace Emma Gilmour and was replaced in turn by championship reserve driver Tamara Molinaro.^[6][7]
