Daniil Kvyat could revive his motorsport career in Formula E.

After a tumultuous couple of years, Kvyat, a 23-year-old Russian, lost his Formula 1 ride not only at Toro Rosso, but in the entire Red Bull program. Kvyat has made 72 starts in Formula 1. He has zero wins and just two podium finishes.

Formula E could be his next destination. The all-electric racing series is now regarded as a viable alternative to F1 for drivers, manufacturers and sponsors.

Several former F1 drivers, including Jean-Eric Vergne, Sebastien Buemi, Kamui Kobayashi, Nelson Piquet Jr., Andre Lotterer, Lucas di Grassi, Jerome d'Ambrosio and Nick Heidfeld all race in Formula E now.

Recent Williams F1 retiree Felipe Massa is expected to follow soon, and the Russian news agency Tass reports that Kvyat is another potential Formula E driver of the future.

Tass says Kvyat has "held talks with at least two teams" and could take part in test drives in January.
