Lamborghini Delays First EV to After 2030, Shifts Lanzador to Plug-In Hybrid

Weak charging networks plus demand for engine sound are steering the brand toward hybrids, the CEO says.

Overview

  • Lamborghini confirms the production Lanzador will arrive by the end of the decade as a plug-in hybrid, retaining a two-door 2+2 layout and, according to reports, likely drawing on the Urus V8 PHEV hardware.
  • The company says its first fully electric model is now targeted for a timeframe after 2030, with EV development continuing to focus on delivering an emotional driving experience.
  • CEO Stephan Winkelmann cites customer feedback about unreliable charging access, long charging times and disappointing real-world range as key factors damping demand for a full-electric Lamborghini.
  • Two new model debuts are scheduled for 2026, with industry reporting suggesting a Revuelto roadster and a more aggressive Urus PHEV, though Lamborghini has not disclosed specifics.
  • Lamborghini posted record 2025 deliveries of 10,747 and €3.20 billion in revenue, while operating income slipped to €768 million, which management partly attributed to the EV pivot alongside tariffs and exchange-rate headwinds.
