Ferrari’s first fully electtric model , the Elettrica, utilises a structural battery pack, making the large-capacity 122kWh unit an integral part of the chassis rather than a separate component mounted beneath the floor.

This approach aligns with Ferrari’s philosophy for electrification, which focuses on achieving optimal rigidity, weight distribution and driver control.

In most electric vehicles (EVs), the battery sits in a frame that is bolted to the body, but in the Elettrica it is built directly into the aluminium structure and attached at 20 points that connect it to the car’s load paths.
