Ducati has long been vocal about its inability to produce electric motorcycles for consumers, citing the current state of battery technology as the main obstacle. Despite the company’s parent group Volkswagen AG’s recent EV progress and Ducati’s own electric racing motorcycle for the FIM MotoE series, Ducati North America CEO Jason Chinnock recently explained that it will be “some years” before a consumer electric motorcycle is available.
This is a stark contrast to CEO Claudio Domenicali’s statement in 2019 that “the future is electric” and that Ducati was close to starting series production. However, two years later Domenicali blamed batteries for Ducati’s lack of results, saying that lithium-ion batteries haven’t advanced enough to provide sufficient stored energy and performance.
The statement has been met with skepticism from the motorcycle industry, as other companies have been producing high-performance electric motorcycles for years now. While Ducati may have missed the bus, riders still have plenty of options when it comes to fast, high-performance electric motorcycles.
