Here’s how far the Maserati Electric GranTurismo Folgore goes on a charge

Maserati’s first two all-electric models – the 4-seat GranTurismo Folgore coupe and the GranCabrio Folgore convertible – were officially listed on the EPA website, revealing their range and power consumption numbers.

The results bring some mixed feelings, as the 300-mile mark has been elusive despite a hefty $200,000 US price tag

Maserati introduced three EVs

Maserati — the Italian luxury brand of Stellantis — has already introduced three all-electric models, identified by the name “Folgore”. They are: GranTurismo Folgore, GranCabrio Folgore and Grecale Folgore (an SUV). In the coming years, the company will launch three more: the MC20 Folgore (2025), an all-new large E-UV (2027) and the next-generation Quattroporte EV (2028).

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore has an EPA combined range of 242 miles, compared to 280 miles or 450 km under the European WLTP test cycle.

The 2024 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore has a slightly higher energy consumption, which translates into a lower range of 233 miles. On the other hand, in many cases, a Sunday trip may be sufficient.

We remind you that the two brothers are equipped with a 92.5 kilowatt-hour battery (total capacity). The battery system itself is 800 volt class.

The energy consumption of the 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, including charging losses, is estimated at 87 MPGe, or about 387 watt-hours per mile or 2.6 miles/kWh. The convertible model gets 82 MPGe: 411 Wh/mi or 2.4 miles/kWh.

The energy consumption figures are definitely not the greatest – even when compared to other high-performance EVs, such as the Tesla Model S Plaid, which is rated at 107 MPGe (96 MPGe with optional 21-inch wheels).

We suppose there could be room for improvement in the power area. The two Maserati models are currently equipped with three 300 kilowatt permanent magnet synchronous motors (one on the front axle and two on the rear electronic axle) for all-wheel drive.

The 800-volt electrical system comes from Marelli, which underlines the power density of 9.2 kW and 1350 Nm of total torque. The maximum installed power of the power system is 1200 HP or about 900 kilowatts; however, the battery’s maximum discharge power appears to limit it to 560 kW.

According to the manufacturer, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore’s 0-60 mph acceleration takes only about 2.6 seconds. The convertible is slightly slower at 2.7 seconds and has a lower top speed of 180 mph compared to the GranTurismo’s 202 mph.

Another thing is that the electric Maserati is relatively heavy at 4,982 lbs or 5,158 lbs for the convertible. For reference, the Tesla Model S starts at 4,560 lbs, while the Plaid weighs 4,776 lbs.

Prices

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore starts at an MSRP of $192,000, while the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore costs $13,000 more—$205,000. That’s before options and without a $1,995 destination charge.

The model is imported from Italy, so it doesn’t qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit and exceeds the $55,000 incentive price limit.
