https://uk.motor1.com/news/723829/ferrari-electric-car-models-coming-2024/ 2 electric ferraris coming. 1 will be announced this year. The electric plant will be dedicated and open this week.
Well things are moving quickly about EV’s in automotive industry.. I can’t see how an electrified and expensive Ferrari would be a hit in the near future.
Many are already moving /try to move on a get rid of it via other tech and now bio fuels. I think Ferrari have made a bad move
yet Ferrari think there apple designed EV 2+2/SUV will sell for 500K https://www.caranddriver.com/rankings/best-suvs/electric/luxury in what universe
IMO There's going to be a lot of hesitation due to the following 1) EV's depreciate far more than ICE 2) Fake noise is like fake handbags and watches 3) I drive a Taycan and there's now way of completely hiding the massive weight of EV's 4) Torque delivery seems overwhelming compared to the way ICE delivers its power IMO 5) It may end up being the next Lusso which was primarily forced up customers\ IMO at the moment EV's are best suited for sporty luxury sedans and SUV's as Battery weight drops significantly then definitely a new gateway will open up
Hybrid sales will consistently eclipse pure ICE sales and make up the majority of Ferrari’s volume until the EU/UK starts to outlaw them. Customers aren’t pushing back on 296 and SF90! In fact Ferrari was too greedy and sold to many SF90’s at price points significantly higher than any other mass production F car. Worst case pure EV vs ICEV sales will likely be similar - even if the F EV is passed over by the majority of current customers. Worst case is probably 80/10/10 - favoring Hybrids.

Big question is weather the Ferrari EV's will have Solid State Batteries ? SSB's are lighter in weight and give better range faster charging
No, SSBs are not lighter and better range...because they DO NOT EXIST in automotive applications except in press releases. evidence: https://spectrum.ieee.org/solid-state-battery-production-challenges ----------- one of the companies, if not the top company trying to make SSB work(and are utterly failing): https://finance.yahoo.com/news/quantumscape-millionaire-maker-103600618.html All investors in QS will be millionaires, providing they all originally were billionaires. QS stock high was $115(or so) Dec 24 2020, currently $6.50/share ----------- https://www.topspeed.com/toyotas-745-mile-solid-state-battery-breakthrough-explained/ November 2010 was when Toyota first announced it was pursuing solid-state EV batteries. 14+ years after that, the company issued a steady stream of press releases promising that this wonder-battery was definitely in development. However, all these extravagant promises have come with very little physical proof that Toyota had done anything in its R&D facilities besides putting out more hydrogen fuel cell developments. Toyota did not help its own PR when it promised to bring a prototype solid-state battery to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and then failed to appear. (To make things look even worse, the Olympics were rescheduled to 2021, which gave Toyota an extra year in which it came up with nothing.) More on Toyota and SSB: This states 2026 https://electrek.co/2023/11/21/toyotas-long-range-solid-state-ev-batteries-limited/ but it then states 2027/28 or later...Toyota will simply keep pushing back the date forever because SSB will never arrive for automobiles... and from the above article link, seems like a parody: However, the report notes that production (in 2030) will only be enough for “over ten thousand vehicles.” This is in line with Toyota’s production plans. what? To me, SSB is a pipe-dream that is not going to happen or scale at all...probably never (my prediction) at end of electrek article, a summary: Its (Toyota) first EV powered by solid-state batteries was initially due out in 2020/2021, then in 2022. Now, it’s 2027-2028. But, in 2030, it will still be limited. These are just concepts that are under development. Actual launch times can and likely will change ahead of arrival.
