As the auto industry accelerates towards electrification, Ferrari has announced the arrival of its first fully electric supercar will be expediated, currently scheduled for a 2025 launch date.
The confirmation was made by the Italian marqueโs acting chairman John Elkann during an annual shareholders meeting, which raised eyebrows (in the best possible sense) given how Ferrari had previously stated it wouldnโt offer its own take on an electric vehicle until after 2025.
Former CEO Louis Camilleri rationalised this stance by pointing out how battery technology simply wasnโt up to scratch in recharge time and driving range; before doubling down on the sentiment by stating he couldnโt see the brand ever having a 50% battery-powered lineup, let alone going completely electric. But since December 2019 โ the same year Ferrari introduced its critically lauded SF90 Stradale hybrid โ notable strides have obviously been made on this front.

โWe are very excited about our first all-electric Ferrari that we plan to unveil in 2025,โ says Elkan.
โWe are continuing to execute our electrification strategy in a highly disciplined way.โ
In addition to hinting at the debut of three new conventional models in the next few months, Elkann would later detail how Ferrariโs interpretation of electric technologies would be a tremendous opportunity to bring the โuniqueness and passionโ of Ferrari to newer generations.
Apart from the fact itโll apparently be โeverything you dream the engineers and designers at Maranello can imagineโ for such a landmark event in the Prancing Horseโs history, no further details surrounding a fully electric Ferrari have been provided at this stage.
