Italian luxury automaker Maserati is entering its fourth year of its 100% electric strategy and is nearing the launch of its second BEV model, the Grecale Folgore SUV. The Grecale Folgore, a bespoke electric version of combustion SUV, was initially launched as a 2023 model and has found a large audience of female drivers (over 40%). As the Grecale Folgore approaches sales, Maserati invited media to test it first-hand in Southern Italy. The Grecale Folgore is the first model to sit atop Maserati’s all-electric Giorgio platform, consisting of 33 modules housing lithium-ion cells. It has a 105 kWh pack (97 kWh usable) weighing 1,500 pounds and two 205 kW electric drive motors providing 820 Nm of torque. The SUV can reach a top DC charge rate of 150 kW, equates to a 20-80% charge in about 29 minutes, and AC charging can reach 22 kW, almost double the rate of an average 400V EV. Each all-electric Grecale Folgore comes with an AC cable and a Maserati-branded Level 2 charger, making it a big plus for owners.
