The first two Extreme E events have already taken place in Saudi Arabia and Senegal, with Greenland to follow in late August.
However, the hosts for the final two events have still to be confirmed after the decision was taken to relocate them from Brazil and Argentina because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this month, Extreme E, agreed a rights deal with Motorsport TV Russia, a subsidiary of Motorsport Network, the international digital media company.
