Ferrari is launching its first EV later this year: Here’s a sneak peek of the electric supercar

Ferrari looks to shake up the market with its first all-electric vehicle, which will launch later this year. Ferrari confirmed plans to launch its first EV in October as one of six new vehicles debuting in 2025. Ahead of its official debut, the new electric car was spotted testing out in public. Check out a sneak peek of it below.

Ferrari confirms plans to launch its first EV in 2025.

Although the firm has kept most of the details to itself, we are finally learning when we can expect to see Ferrari’s first EV.

We knew it was likely coming this year, but now it’s official. After releasing 2024 earnings, Ferrari confirmed on Wednesday it will launch six new vehicles in 2025, including its first EV.

Ferrari will unveil the electric car during its Capital Markets Day on October 9. , the Ferrari “elettrica” will be launched “in a unique way. “.

Vigna previously mentioned, “People buy a Ferrari because when they buy a Ferrari, they have a lot of fun,” and the brand’s first EV will be no different. The electric car has taken longer than most hoped for, but Vigna promises it will be built “the right way,” as a Ferrari should be.

The EV model will still feature the (emulated) sounds and signature design Ferrari has built its legacy but in all-electric form.

With models out for testing, Ferrari’s first EV has already been spotted out in public. Last month, a video from Varryx gave us our closest look at the electric crossover yet.

You can see the electric car is finally coming together with new headlights and other design attributes like body panels. As the EV passes by, you can hear exhaust-like sounds, hinting at a sound system like Dodge’s electric Charger muscle car.

Ferrari opened its new e-building last June, where its first EV will be built. The facility will also produce e-motors, batteries, and inverters for upcoming EV and PHEV models.

By the end of next year, Ferrari aims for 60% of sales to be EV or PHEV models. In 2024, Ferrari’s shipments consisted of 51% hybrid and 49% internal combustion engine vehicles.

Mercedes EVs can charge on Tesla Superchargers, starting today

Mercedes EVs can now charge on Tesla’s Supercharger network with the use of a NACS adapter.

The NACS transition is speeding up, with lots of news in the last month about more brands being given access to Tesla’s network soon, new native NACS cars and adapters shipping, and some foibles along the way.

But it looks like we won’t have any more foibles today, as the planned opening of Tesla’s network to Mercedes EV drivers has been carried out today, on schedule, as previously showcased.

Tesla added Mercedes to the “supported” section of its NACS website today, making it official that Mercedes EVs can now access the Supercharger fast charging network. It’s the first German automaker to be added.

This means that, like other brands, Mercedes EVs can now use an adapter and initiate charging sessions at the largest US fast charging network. Though this is only limited to US locations at the moment – we’ll have to wait until later this year for Canadian Supercharger locations to be activated for Mercedes EVs.

Unlike other brands, you can start your charge directly from the Mercedes me app. Typically, other brands need to download the Tesla app, but Mercedes has integrated Tesla locations into its Mercedes me network, so you don’t have to download a separate app if you have a Mercedes. These locations will also be added to your in-car navigation.

Mercedes EVs so far do not have a native NACS port, though, so an adapter is required. You can buy an adapter at Mercedes dealerships for $185. Some native NACS Mercedes models will come out later this year.

Vessev’s VS–9 electric hydrofoiling boat begins passenger operations [Video]

Nascent electric hydrofoil boat builder Vessev shared another key milestone this week, putting its first electric hydrofoiling boat into commercial operations. Ferry transport enterprise Fullers360 is now operating the ultra-efficient VS–9 vessel to transport tourists and other passengers.

Vessev is a young, eco-friendly boat builder founded in Auckland, New Zealand a few years ago. The corporation currently operates there and has been conducting sea trials of its flagship vessel, an electric hydrofoiling boat called the VS–9, since coming out of stealth mode in May 2024.

We have been following the marine startup as it moved closer to reaching commercial operations and tourism with its unique electric hydrofoiling boat that “flies” above the water. Last year, we learned that Vessev has lined up its first customer in NetZero Maritime – the green technology team at Fullers360 – New Zealand’s largest ferry operator, who signed on to help commercialize the hydrofoil technology.

This past September, Vessev shared images and footage of its first completed VS–9 electric hydrofoiling boat build alongside news that it would begin transporting passengers in New Zealand as soon as certification was complete.

Last we heard, the VS–9 had entered the last phase of sea trails before beginning commercial operations and had even started selling ride tickets to the public. Today, Vessev confirmed that electric hydrofoil rides are operational in New Zealand and shared some video footage of the experience.

Vessev’s first hydrofoiling boat transports tourists in NZ.

As promised, Vessev’s first electric hydrofoiling boat has begun commercial ferry operations in Auckland, New Zealand, with Fullers360. The quiet, sustainable vessel has been dubbed “Kermadec” and is now transporting passengers on tourism trips across Auckland’s waterways.

, this is the first time in the world that a certified electric hydrofoiling boat has entered a commercial fleet for transport services. Vessev CEO Eric Laakmann elaborated:

We are incredibly proud to see the Vessev VS–9 enter service with Fullers360. The VS—9 is the first electric vessel to enter the Fullers360 fleet and represents an enormous step on their path to being net zero by 2040. For the public, we’re thrilled that they can now also share in what we’ve been experiencing since the launch of the VS—9 in May. Traditionally, larger vessels are required to deliver a comfortable passenger experience as they can handle the impact of waves and wake. By flying above the waves, the Vessev VS–9 delivers a large vessel experience on an agile platform that can be berthed and charged in nearly any marina. In the future, we are going to see many different use cases made viable by technology like this.

The VS–9 will transport its passengers at speeds up to 25 knots (~29 mph) and can travel up to 50 nautical miles (57 miles/[website] on a single charge. With its first electric hydrofoiling boat in operation, Vessev will look to deploy additional sustainable vessels, but that’s not all.

The firm has shared plans to continue its collaboration with Fullers360 and eventually introduce a new vessel into service called VS–18 – a 100-seater electric hydrofoiling commuter ferry. While we await that model, here is some footage of the VS–9 in action:
