Ferrari: Electric and Hybrid Models to Dominate Starting in 2026

By 2030, the share of combustion engine Ferraris will have fallen to 20%.

Whether for or against the electric shift, manufacturers are forced to consider evolving regulations. While most mainstream brands have almost all begun their electrification journey, some prestige firms are clearly not in a rush to give up combustion engines.

The most emblematic example is undoubtedly Ferrari. Until now, the Maranello-based manufacturer has been very cautious, using electric power only as a supplement to thermal engines. But in certain regions of the world, hybrid will soon no longer be enough to comply with the rules. Especially in Europe, sales of thermal and hybrid cars are expected to be banned starting in 2035. Ferrari has no choice: it must go further and quickly open the chapter on electric vehicles.

Appointment in 2025

This topic was indeed addressed at a conference for investors. At this event, Ferrari confirmed that its first electric car will be launched in 2025. To limit weight and enhance driving experience, battery modules will be integrated into the chassis. The process, which has not been detailed or illustrated, will be adopted across the entire electric lineup.

Unlike some brands, Ferrari does not want to commit entirely to electric. The combustion engine will continue to live and evolve at Maranello. Simply put, the share of thermal Ferraris will significantly decrease since, from 2026, 60% of the lineup will be either hybrid or electric. By 2030, the share of 100% electric models will rise to 40%. Hybrids will be at the same level, leaving thermal engines with only 20%.

Works at Maranello

To support this shift, Ferrari plans to modernize its production facilities. The manufacturer will notably build an “e-building” where electric motors, inverters, and batteries will be assembled.
