The Maserati Grecale Folgore brings the Italian brand’s electric powertrain to an SUV shaped around everyday use. It combines all-wheel drive, a claimed 4.1-second 0–100 km/h time and a published Australian price of $199,000 plus on-road costs. That price was announced for special customer orders opening in January 2025, rather than a newly verified drive-away offer.
There is also a reason for Australian buyers to look ahead. Local reporting confirms an updated Grecale lineup, including the fully electric Folgore, is expected here in early 2027. The sensible buying question is therefore not simply whether the electric Maserati appeals, but which version a dealer is quoting and what has been confirmed for it. The figures below describe the original Australian offering; the forthcoming update is kept separate.

Australian price and ordering
Drive reported an Australian starting price of $199,000 plus on-road costs for the Grecale Folgore when orders opened on 1 January 2025. It was offered through special customer order rather than a broad launch-stock programme. This is a useful published reference for its luxury positioning, but a current itemised quote is needed to establish the total cost and delivery timing.
Ask the dealer to identify the model year and exact specification on the quote. On-road costs, optional equipment and any changes to the vehicle’s price need to be accounted for, particularly if delivery may coincide with the incoming update. A deposit discussion should also make the expected build and arrival dates clear, rather than relying on the date of an online announcement.

Range and performance for the Australian reference car
The original Australian launch information gives the Folgore a 105 kWh battery pack and a claimed WLTP range of 426–501 km. Maserati’s Australian model page continues to headline 501 km. Use that upper figure as a laboratory comparison point, not a distance that every car will achieve on every trip. Highway speed, temperature, hills, tyre choice and cabin heating or cooling all affect consumption.
The two electric motors produce a combined 410 kW and 820 Nm in the reported Australian configuration. The claimed 4.1-second sprint is more than enough to make performance part of the appeal, but most ownership decisions will turn on quieter matters: comfort on familiar roads, visibility in traffic and how conveniently charging fits into your routine.
| Electric driving detail | Original Australian reference figure |
|---|---|
| Battery pack | 105 kWh |
| Claimed driving range | 426–501 km WLTP |
| Combined motor output | 410 kW and 820 Nm |
| Claimed 0–100 km/h | 4.1 seconds |
| Maximum DC charging | Up to 150 kW |
| Claimed DC charging window | 20–80% in approximately 29 minutes |
| AC charging support | Up to 22 kW |
Charging at home and on longer trips
The Grecale Folgore’s reported maximum DC rate is 150 kW, with a claimed 20–80% recharge in approximately 29 minutes. The starting percentage matters: this is not a 10–80% claim. Nor does a 150 kW peak mean that the car accepts that power throughout a stop. The charging curve, battery conditions and the site’s available output determine the actual wait.
For a longer Australian journey, plan around dependable chargers along the route and keep an alternative stop in reserve. Our guide to public EV charging in Australia explains why network access and practical planning matter alongside the car’s specification. A suitable lunch or coffee stop can be more useful than planning every leg around the fastest advertised charger.
At home, 22 kW AC support is a vehicle capability, not what a normal household socket can deliver. Your supply, installation and wallbox determine the power available, and many homes will charge at a lower rate. Have a qualified installer assess the parking location and electrical supply. Also confirm any charging equipment offered with the Australian car: overseas wallbox packages and charging-network benefits should not be assumed to apply here.
An electric SUV to assess in everyday use
Maserati’s Australian Folgore information lists a length of 4,865 mm and a width of 2,163 mm including the mirrors. Those measurements make a driveway, garage and usual parking-bay check worthwhile. Take the time to assess low-speed visibility and manoeuvring, as well as how easily passengers get in and out.
The cabin’s appeal includes Italian detailing and regenerated nylon materials, with Maserati highlighting its infotainment display and connected functions. A demonstration should cover the controls you will actually use, including navigation, charging information and climate adjustment. Check the fitted options on the particular car rather than assuming every feature pictured on a global product page is standard in Australia.
Bring your regular luggage and, if relevant, a child seat to a test drive. A luxury SUV still needs to work for the people and equipment it carries. The strongest reason to choose the Folgore is that its design, electric character and practical fit suit your life together—not simply that the acceleration figure is impressive.
What to know about the early-2027 update
Carsales reports that the updated Grecale lineup will reach Australia in early 2027, including an efficiency-focused Folgore. Its coverage points to aerodynamic changes intended to reduce consumption. That is relevant to anyone ordering now, but it does not confirm an updated Australian price or final local range figure.
Keep the incoming car’s numbers separate from the 501 km Australian reference above. Overseas update claims should not be treated as the specification of a vehicle quoted by an Australian dealer. Before committing, ask which version will be supplied, what local technical information is available and whether the delivery estimate reflects the updated model.
Experience electric driving before buying
A purchase at this level deserves time behind the wheel and a clear understanding of home and public charging. If you are moving to electric driving for the first time, our guide to what to know when renting an electric car helps explain the day-to-day experience before you make a larger commitment.
You can explore electric cars on evee to build confidence with charging, commuting and longer journeys. Listings vary, so check the specific vehicle rather than assuming a Grecale Folgore is available. For the Maserati itself, confirm the current Australian quote and model specification, then judge its appeal against your own roads, passengers and parking space.
