Maserati GranTurismo Folgore

The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore earns a Decoder Score of 51/100 — a rating computed purely from its specifications, pricing and ownership data, never from advertising relationships. That's a middling result among the 3 electric coupes we track — it does some things well, but you should go in with clear eyes about the compromises.

A tri-motor, 751-hp Italian GT with an 800-volt pack and a 2.7-second 0-60 — gorgeous and ferociously quick, but collapsing resale values and huge official discounts make buying new hard to justify. At $197,195, the GranTurismo Folgore lands well under the $218,313 average for electric coupes in our database. In one line: this is an EV built for performance, luxury buyers, and a poor match for buyers who care about depreciation.

The EPA rates the GranTurismo Folgore at 233 miles of combined range from its 92.5-kWh battery. Treat that as a lab ceiling, not a promise: across thousands of owner reports, real-world mixed driving typically lands around 82% of the EPA figure, which for this car means roughly 191 miles between charges. That modest result is workable for commuting and errands, but it demands more planning on longer days — know your charging options before you need them.

Cold weather is the honest asterisk on every EV's window sticker. Batteries lose usable capacity below freezing and cabin heat competes for the same electrons, so plan on roughly 163 miles in a hard winter (about 70% of EPA) — less with a roof box or aggressive highway speeds. Efficiency is the number that quietly matters most for your wallet: at 2.4 mi/kWh, the GranTurismo Folgore consumes more energy per mile than most rivals, which shows up on every charging bill. Run your own numbers with our range calculator, which starts pre-filled for this car.

At home on a Level 2 charger (the GranTurismo Folgore accepts up to 22 kW), a full charge takes about 4.2 hours — an overnight non-event that adds roughly 53 miles of range per hour plugged in. At the national-average residential rate of about $0.17/kWh, filling the battery from empty costs around $16, and every 100 miles costs about $7.08 in electricity — versus roughly $10.63 of gas in an efficient (32 mpg) crossover at $3.40/gallon.

On road trips, the number that matters is not peak kilowatts but how long you stand at the charger. The GranTurismo Folgore peaks at 270 kW on DC fast charging — elite for this class (segment average: 216 kW) — which works out to roughly 20 minutes for the typical 10–80% road-trip stop once real-world charging taper is factored in. Practically, a 600-mile travel day means about 4 charging stops — you leave with a full battery, drive to ~10%, and charge to ~80% each time. Public fast charging costs more (about $0.42/kWh on average), so the same 100 miles runs about $17.50 on the road — the classic EV pattern of cheap weeks and pricier vacations.

Plug politics, decoded: the GranTurismo Folgore uses a CCS port and can access Tesla's Supercharger network (via an approved NACS adapter), which roughly doubles the reliable fast-charging stalls available to you in the US. Estimate a specific trip's charging cost with the charging cost calculator — it uses your ZIP code's actual electricity rates.

Zero to sixty arrives in 2.7 seconds from 751 hp through dual-motor all-wheel drive — supercar-quick by any standard, and like every EV it delivers that thrust instantly, with no downshift pause. The daily payoff is effortless merging and passing rather than track-day heroics; the instant torque makes the car feel even faster than the stopwatch says. One-pedal driving and the low, centered battery mass give the chassis a planted, composed character that surprises most first-time EV drivers.

The GranTurismo Folgore seats 4 and offers 10 cu ft of cargo space — this is a vehicle you choose for reasons other than hauling. It carries no tow rating, which is common in this class — if towing matters, look at the electric trucks and larger SUVs.

The battery — the component buyers worry about most — is warranted for 8 years / 100,000 miles, the federally required minimum that has proven conservative: real-world degradation data shows most modern packs retaining ~85–90% capacity at 100,000 miles. Bumper-to-bumper coverage runs 4 yr / 50,000 mi. Maintenance is where EVs quietly win: no oil changes, no transmission service, and regenerative braking means pads routinely last past 100,000 miles.

On incentives: the federal EV purchase tax credit ended for vehicles bought after September 30, 2025, so no GranTurismo Folgore purchase qualifies today. State and utility programs still exist and can be worth thousands — check yours with our rebates-by-ZIP lookup. Even with no federal credit, the fuel math favors electric: at 12,000 miles a year, home charging saves roughly $2,125 over five years versus an efficient gas equivalent at today's average prices. Current manufacturer offers — 0% APR programs and bonus cash have become common as EV competition intensifies — often matter more than incentives now.

Known issues worth a pre-purchase check: headlamp-adjustment recall; rearview-camera software recall. None of these are unusual in kind — every platform has a list — but walk in informed and verify fixes were applied on the specific car you're buying.

Nobody cross-shops in a vacuum. Against the electric coupes closest to it on price and range, the GranTurismo Folgore lines up like this: Dodge Charger Daytona ($137,200 less, 34 mi more EPA range — see the full comparison); Rolls-Royce Spectre ($200,555 more, 44 mi more EPA range — see the full comparison). Our comparison tool puts any of them side-by-side across every spec we track, with the GranTurismo Folgore already loaded.

Buy it if: your priorities look like "performance, luxury." It fits drivers with home charging and mostly local miles, where the range limit rarely surfaces. The below-average price for the segment means you're getting real value per dollar.

Skip it if: you're buyers who care about depreciation. Not sure where you land? Our Find My EV tool matches you to the right EV in six questions — and explains every recommendation.
