Electric supercars? According to Michael Leiters, CEO of McLaren, true electric supercars will not arrive before 2030 when battery-powered car technology will have reached its peak. taken a step further. On the market today there are already several electric supercars. Let's think, for example, of Rimac Nevera. In the coming years, already we know, several other very high-performance electric models will arrive.
For McLaren's number one, however, it will still take several years before battery technology allows us to create “true supercars”. The problem, according to Michael Leiters, concerns the weight of the batteries.
The weight is extremely important and is the right autonomy is also necessary. I don't expect this technology to be ready for real supercars before the end of the decade.
Leiters does not deny the possibility to be able to achieve, even already today, very high performance electric cars, however he highlights that with current battery technology, cars are being created that are heavy and much less agile than his company's current endothermic supercars. For McLaren, as we know, lightness and the driving experience are very important aspects.
We don't want to make an electric car that weighs two tons and has 2,000 horsepower.< /p>
For McLaren's number one, the weight should drop to the level of today's models, around 1,500 kg. Therefore, only in several years will technology allow to make real supercars, according to Michael Leiters. This means that it will still be several years before we see a 100% electric McLaren. Meanwhile, the brand is focusing on plug-in hybrid models. Additionally, Leiters said he is open to the possibility that the company develops an SUV.
