Ferrari's New Factory and Its Electric Vehicle Initiative

TapTechNews June 24th news, last Saturday local time, Ferrari's brand-new factory E-building was officially inaugurated. This factory is responsible for manufacturing all Ferrari models - including the first electric vehicle. It is reported that the factory covers an area of approximately 42,500 square feet and will also produce high-voltage batteries, electric motors and other related components.

Currently, this building is in the trial operation stage. According to the official introduction, the complex system in the factory has now entered the debugging stage, and the program code supporting the stable operation of the infrastructure has also been repeatedly corrected and improved, and anthropomorphic robots are ready to wait for the execution of new tasks.

The energy system of the whole building is claimed to have completely abandoned fossil fuels. The air conditioning adopts a pure electric heat pump and relies on renewable energy for power supply. More than 3,000 solar panels are laid on the roof, with a peak output power of up to 1.3 megawatts. In addition, 60% of the energy used for battery and motor testing will be recycled and reused in other processes.

According to TapTechNews' previous report, this month, some informed people disclosed that the price of Ferrari's first electric vehicle is at least 500,000 euros (currently about 3.894 million yuan). This price does not include the optional configurations for functions and personalization, which often increases the vehicle price by 15%-20%. The electric vehicle factory of Ferrari in Maranello, northern Italy, is a bold move of the company, because the number of cars delivered by the company last year was less than 14,000, and this factory will eventually increase its production capacity to about 20,000.
