Just 280+ mile EPA range on a 122 kwH battery. 5100 pounds. 2.5s to 60. Not insane by any standard, ICE or EV.

Yeah that's actually rather inefficient. Tesla Model Y has 84kWh battery and a range of 300 miles.

> Yeah that's actually rather inefficient

Unsurprising, for a Ferrari. I suspect it's designed for performance and not efficiency. Atrocious mileage is par for the course in this segment (see the Veyron)

[thrownthatway]

Does it really?

[amarant]

I've done Stockholm - Oslo on a single charge in early winter, which is almost exactly that distance, so I'd say it does! Even kept me nice and toasty along the way!

[margalabargala]

No, but we're comparing the EPA ranges here, which is the point of them.

[thrownthatway]

The point of the EPA ranges are to be misleading.

The car manufacturers are well aware of what their vehicles achieve in real world usage.

It would be trivial for them to give and prospective buyer indicative ranges for any particular geographical area.

[margalabargala]

You're missing the point.

The actual number of the EPA range is imaginary, yes. But it's useful for comparisons.

But if we're talking about comparisons between two vehicles, the vehicle with a 122kWh battery and a 280 EPA range will go less far and is much less efficient than the vehicle with a 84kWh batter and a 300 EPA range.

[rootusrootus]

Not really, no, except in narrow circumstances.

[nradov]

A lot of Ferraris are driven less than 280 miles per year.

[bathtub365]

They’ve historically had eye watering regular maintenance bills, even outside of them generally having a reputation for being temperamental. Maybe Ferrari will continue pioneering in their own way and make an unreliable and expensive to own EV
