New Zealand driver Mitch Evans has survived a wet track to win the Formula E round in Miami, however fellow-Kiwi driver Nick Cassidy finished out of the points.
Thirty-one-year-old Evans, kept his Jaguar in front of Porsche's Nico Müller and Pascal Wehrlein and 17 other rivals in the 41-lap race.
Without a point in the first two rounds, Evans produced an exceptional drive from ninth on the grid, taking advantage of a number of problems to the cars in front of him.
A clever passing move on the 27th lap took Evans past German Müller in the key moment of the race, with the New Zealander eventually winning by 3.1 seconds.
It was his 15th career win in the class and points Evans in sixth on the points table after three rounds.
Despite a non-score in 16th, Mexico City winner Cassidy still leads the drivers standings for Citroen, two points ahead of Wehrlein's 38.
The next round is in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in late February.
