If everything goes as planned, Ferrari will show off its first battery-electric car this fall. The first EV is intended to be produced in smaller quantities. Ferrari’s second electric vehicle, slated for release late next year, is said to be a real test for Maranello a car that will be produced in large quantities. A Reuters story, however, citing two sources, says that the later EV has been pushed back to 2028. Why? Someone who did not want to be named says that there is “zero” interest in a Ferrari that runs on electricity alone. Like many other automakers that produce more affordable cars, Ferrari has abandoned its plans to develop electric cars. The electric car we’ll see later this year is a genuine production model, but Ferrari views it more as a symbolic beginning to its work in the high-performance EV market, which it has been slow to enter. Reuters spoke with a person who stated that the car will be larger than the company’s other models, but it will not be an SUV. This makes it “atypical” of the brand. It is not expected to replace anything in the core range because it is not made in large quantities. Speculation suggests that the second Ferrari EV, which is not expected to be released until late 2028 as planned, was intended to be a more popular Ferrari if such a thing exists. Over the next five years, Reuters thinks it will be between 5,000 and 6,000 units. Although not much is known about this second EV, Ferrari is reportedly very interested in it. Some people who work for the news agency say that the brand’s customers don’t want it enough to support the production of so many. The delay will give Ferrari more time to improve the product, which is likely a good thing, given the company’s apparent importance. Ferrari’s plan to keep everything secret about the Lanciador differs significantly from what Lamborghini is doing. If you believe it, we saw the car for the first time about two years ago, which is five years before its expected release date in 2028. Additionally, it’s larger than any Lamborghini that isn’t the Urus, but it’s not quite an SUV, either. It’s similar to the rumored Ferrari EV that’s expected to be available this year. Lamborghini has a wealth of Volkswagen Group hardware at its disposal to develop its first electric car. This technology is already very advanced. Ferrari wants to get off to a good start on this course since it’s his first time here. You only get one chance to make a good impression with your first electric car, after all.
