According to McLaren’s CEO, Michael Leiters, the arrival of full-electric supercars is still a few years away. He explained that the main challenge lies in developing lighter batteries with sufficient range. Leiters recently discussed the automaker’s electrification strategy and reiterated the importance of weight in McLaren’s design principles. Heavy cars compromise nimbleness and create a disconnect for drivers, which goes against the essence of the McLaren brand. Leiters doesn’t anticipate this technology being ready for real supercars until the end of the decade.
