More than two years ago, we found conclusive evidence that Ferrari was developing an electric supercar. Of course, the Italian automaker also brought good news later, that the brand will never be fully electrified, but that doesn't mean it won't produce any electric cars either.
In fact, the information that has been revealed indicates that the driving experience of an electric Ferrari is no less than that of a petrol version, and based on our driving experience with hybrids such as the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, we believe that Maranello can easily transfer the driving experience full of driving pleasure to the electric Ferrari. Foreign media have now found more evidence that electric Ferraris would be interesting thanks to a patent recently filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The patent was first filed in Italy in December 2018, but was not filed with the USPTO until December 2019. The patent was finally published here on January 11, 2022. But what exactly is that patent?
The document says it is related to "electric or hybrid vehicles". The picture clearly shows a "mid-battery" two-seater car without an engine. The focus of this patent is the huge mid-battery backplane, which consists of a battery pack of three battery packs. All of these power reserve units are mounted on a frame and bolted to the main monomer, which means it is a modular system capable of being used in a wide range of vehicle models.
It looks like the system could work for all electric or hybrid vehicles, so there's no definitive evidence that Ferrari is developing electric vehicles. Although no heater is shown on the diagram, it can be placed behind the front or rear battery pack of the car. This structure determines a configuration in which the rear battery pack is placed between the heater and the car seat.
If the hybrid did adopt this design, the poor mechanic would have to shuttle through an unusually narrow cabin during work.
The document also mentions that the angle of the layout will allow airflow to both cool the battery and help with downforce. We also see evidence that various types of battery cells are considering their ability to charge and discharge. Hopefully, the patent is the beginning of Ferrari's first electric car. But even if it is not, the document is a testament to Ferrari's fascination with the details of its future electrification products. This makes us look forward to the future of electrified products.
Write at the end:
The soul of supercar is large displacement and high performance. Does electrified Ferrari still smell that way? I don't know if it will really be like the disclosed information said, electric Ferrari can also have a fun driving experience of oil trucks? Xiaobian said that it is really good to look forward to Oh!! (Although I can't afford the oil of electricity...) ）
