Maserati kills electric version of MC20 supercar for lack of demand
Briefly

Electric motors are inherently more efficient than internal combustion engines, wasting less energy and offering instantaneous torque. Despite these advantages, luxury supercar manufacturers face a paradox: high-end buyers are less interested in electrified models. This trend has led brands like Maserati to cancel all-electric variants, such as the MC20. The MC20 itself boasts impressive technology, including a lightweight carbon-fiber structure and advanced combustion technology derived from Formula 1, which appeals to traditional supercar enthusiasts who prioritize performance over electrification.
Electric motors are much better than internal combustion engines as they don't waste energy like heat and sound, are easy to control, and provide instant torque.
Electric version of BMW's 430i has shown to be easier in traffic and more responsive on twisty roads, highlighting advantages of electric over combustion engines.
Despite the advantages of electric motors, high-end supercar buyers increasingly disfavor electrification, leading brands like Maserati to cancel all-electric versions.
The Maserati MC20, with its carbon-fiber monocoque and sophisticated F1-derived engine technology, represents a competitive edge in the traditional supercar market.
