Ferrari’s First Electric Car Expected in 2025
A Regulatory Requirement
Ferrari’s first electric car, which is expected to be launched in 2025, was recently spotted undergoing tests on open roads. Starting in 2035, all new cars sold in Europe must be fully electric. Ferrari, which sells more than 100,000 vehicles per year, will have to comply with this regulation and stop marketing combustion engine models.

Already Transitioning to Electric
Ferrari has already started electrifying its lineup with plug-in hybrid models like the SF90 Stradale and the 296 GTB. However, these powertrains are criticized for their environmental impact, and they will also be banned from sale in the next decade. The manufacturer has thus begun developing its own 100% electric car, aiming for 80% of sales to be electrified models by 2030.
Development Status
Unofficial images, revealed by spy photographers and reported by Autoexpress, show a development vehicle based on the technical platform of the Maserati Levante, confirming the project’s progress. However, no details about the final design are yet visible.
Price and Availability
Although details are still scarce, it is estimated that this electric supercar could cost around 500,000 euros. A waiting list is expected to be set up to manage potentially high demand, although the exact price will only be determined one month before the official launch.
Technical Features
The final name and body type of this new electric supercar have not yet been revealed. It is possible that it will borrow some technologies from the Purosangue, such as active suspensions and rear-wheel steering. Ferrari will not use LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) batteries, preferring NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) batteries, offering higher energy density without increasing size or weight, thus improving consumption and range.
Production and Competition
This car will be produced in Ferrari’s brand new E-Building, a 200 million euro investment. It could compete with models like the Lotus Evija and the Pininfarina Battista. Ferrari’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, has confirmed that the project is progressing well and even ahead in some processes.
A little more patience before discovering this electric supercar in detail…
