Part 8/10:
Ferrari’s characterization of Chinese EVs as “elephants” seeking massive batteries and engines is contradicted by their own innovations. Their upcoming SUV, for example, weighs around 2,500 kilos primarily due to the large battery pack and multiple motors. While Ferrari criticizes the weight of Chinese EVs, their own models exhibit similar or greater mass.
Ferrari’s emphasis on "large engines and batteries" for performance is increasingly outdated, as electric motors offer high power-to-weight ratios and efficiency. The reality is that EVs do not require massive engines; they can produce extraordinary power with small, lightweight motors. Ferrari’s commentary appears hypocritical, especially considering their continuous push for higher horsepower and faster acceleration models every year.
