Maserati GranTurismo Folgore Real-World Range And Charging Test

GranTurismo Folgore: Before it arrived, affluent buyers faced a blunt choice: a grand tourer with petrol drama but daily guilt, or an EV with clean conscience but zero theatre. The Folgore aimed to erase that compromise entirely. The catalyst came when Maserati, a Stellantis subsidiary, revealed the tri-motor layout.

Here was the first all-electric Maserati, and the brand bet its heritage on it. Real-world testing since then has shown what the paper figures actually mean for owners, and the results deserve a closer look.

Features: Tri-Motor Power And 800-Volt Charging

The electric powertrain uses a tri-motor setup producing a peak output of over 750 horsepower unconfirmed. That translates to a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of approximately 2.7 seconds unconfirmed.

The 800-volt electrical architecture enables high-speed DC fast charging up to 270 kW, which is the headline figure owners care about most. Here’s the thing: 270 kW puts it alongside the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air, but charging speed is only half the story.

The real question is how the battery holds up across repeated sessions, and how the range behaves when you drive it like a Maserati should be driven. The cabin wraps occupants in Italian leather and Alcantara, but the tech underneath is what separates this from every previous grand tourer.

GranTurismo Folgore Real-World Performance

Real-world range testing typically yields around 240 miles (approximately 386 kilometers) on a single charge unconfirmed. That is lower than the WLTP claim, which is expected — every EV undershoots its lab figure. But context matters.

The target market for the GranTurismo Folgore consists of affluent buyers seeking high-performance luxury electric grand tourers, not commuters chasing maximum efficiency.

On a 270 kW charger, the car can reportedly add roughly 100 km of range in about five minutes, assuming the charging curve holds steady.

Verdict

If you want a grand tourer that turns heads and charges fast enough for a European road trip, pick the GranTurismo Folgore. If you need maximum range per dollar, the Lucid Air or Taycan serve better.

The Folgore is a statement first, a car second — and for its buyers, that is exactly the point. That is the takeaway: the Folgore delivers Maserati drama with EV convenience, as long as you accept its range reality and plan charging stops accordingly.
