During a visit to Koenigsegg’s factory in Sweden for the unveiling of its latest Lego project dedicated to the Sadair’s Spear, I asked Christian von Koenigsegg a question that’s more relevant today than ever before: "Where does the company stand on building electric cars?"
With Ferrari recently unveiling the Luce, and some of its other competitors at least discussing electrification, it would make sense that Christian and his team have at least considered the idea. For now, at least, Koenigsegg models leave the Ängelholm plant with either internal combustion power or hybrid systems. And that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.
There’s no technological shortfall behind that decision, nor a lack of know-how: the company’s founder and CEO is convinced Koenigsegg would have all the capability to build an electric hypercar, if it wanted to. It simply doesn’t see that as the right path right now for the kind of car it wants to make.
