Ferrari’s first fully electric model hasn’t made it to the finish line yet, or even the final turn, but it’s getting there
Ferrari has confirmed that deliveries of its debut EV will commence in the fall of 2026, reported Reuters. That will be the final part of a three-step process that will begin later this year.
The announcement was made by CEO Benedetto Vigna during the company’s first-quarter earnings call last week. The executive revealed that the vehicle’s “technological heart”—presumably its electric powertrain and battery—will be on 9 October 2025, to coincide with the company’s capital markets day. The EV, which may be a car or an SUV, is expected to make its world premiere next spring, before deliveries begin that fall.
“Deliveries … will commence just months after that, in October 2026,” Vigna is said to have told analysts after the call.
We’ve known a Ferrari EV has been on the way for a while now, but this marks the first time that the company has gone on the record to provide an official timetable for its debut. The newswire reports that there is a belief that the project has experienced some sort of delays, as there was an expectation that the battery-powered model, and not just its powertrain, would be unveiled this fall.
Whenever the car does end up arriving, it will likely do so during an interesting time for EVs. Earlier this decade, automakers, both big and small, announced ambitious electrification strategies. Several of those companies, including Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz, have since backed off from those pledges after finding out their customers weren’t as keen to go electric as initially anticipated. Of course, the Ferrari, the most storied sports car maker there is, has no intention of going all-electric. It has been clear that it will continue to sell gas- and hybrid-powered models (like the SF90 Stradale pictured up top), even after its EV debuts.
The brand can also afford to not be as reliant on the financial success of its EV as its peers. While the company warns that Donald Trump’s automotive tariffs may cut into its 2025 profit margins, it has yet to feel the need to adjust its earnings forecast of US$3.04 billion for the year (the company has said it will raise the price of some models to offset the taxes). The company’s first-quarter financial results show a 15-percent rise in core earnings and a 13-per cent increase in revenue year-over-year.
