MASERATI GRECALE EV - IS IT BONKERS ENOUGH?

EV Channels Review

The Maserati Grecale Folgore presents a compelling, albeit complex, proposition in the premium electric SUV market. While the interior is lauded for its high-end materials, comfort, and sophisticated design, the exterior is criticized for being too subdued and lacking distinct Maserati or Italian flair, making it easily mistaken for other brands. Performance is strong, with instant torque and a comfortable ride, especially in GT mode, though its substantial weight impacts efficiency. The real-world range is a significant drawback, estimated at only 200-250 miles from its nearly 100 kWh battery, which is considered underwhelming for its size and price point. Charging speed is also limited by its 400-volt architecture, topping out at 150 kW. The reviewer suggests it excels as a daily driver for those who already own a sports car, offering a quiet, comfortable, and performance-oriented experience, but questions its unique appeal and value proposition against its petrol counterpart and rivals, particularly given the exterior design and range limitations.
