On 11 June 2014, the Le Mans Audi No. 1 driven by Duval was severely damaged, casting doubt whether it could be repaired for the race, or if Audi could build a new car in time, which would start from the back of the field. Duval was in reasonable condition, considering the magnitude of the accident.

Formula E (2015-Present)

Duval made his Formula E debut at the 2015 Miami ePrix in March 2015, having missed the first four races of the inaugural 2014-15 Formula E season. He replaced Oriol Servià and partnered Jerome d'Ambrosio at Dragon Racing, an American and former Indy team. Despite a slow start to his career, Duval achieved his first podium finish of the season with 3rd place at the 2015 Berlin ePrix with teammate d'Ambrosio winning the race resulting in Dragon Racing first double podium finish. Duval made second appearance to the podium at round two of the London ePrix in the season finale. Duval finished the season in 9th position with 42 points having raced in seven of the eleven championship rounds. Duval's contributions helped Dragon Racing finish 2nd in the Championship having spent the majority of the season outside the top five.
