Wehrlein had impressed by taking pole position for his third Formula E start but faced the threat of 2016-17 champion Di Grassi starting alongside him.
Despite maintain a 2% energy advantage over his rival, Di Grassi was unable to get past the Mahindra and both Da Costa and Edoardo Mortara were in turn hunting the Audi down as they rose up an order of attrition caused by drivers hitting zero.
Wehrlein’s chance to win the race vanished when he cut a chicane on the final lap to keep Di Grassi behind.
Wehrlein’s remaining energy hit zero as he arrived on the start/finish straight, and Di Grassi swerved right to collect the chequered flag first.
