aston martin not remotely interested in evs until 2033 at leastIf there's one thing you can set your watch by in the luxury car world, it's an electric car launch date getting pushed back into the middle of the next decade.Aston Martin is at it again. Speaking to reporters at an event in London, CEO Adrian Hallmark admitted the iconic British brand won't launch its very first battery-electric vehicle until 2033 at the earliest.If that timeline gives you a case of deja vu, you're not alone. Former management originally promised a production EV for 2025. Then that slipped to 2027. Then Hallmark took the wheel and suggested 2030 was more realistic. Now we're looking at 2033-or maybe even 2035-before a whisper-quiet, battery-powered Aston actually hits showroom floors.aston martin not remotely interested in evs until 2033 at leastAccording to Autocar, Hallmark didn't hold back on why Gaydon keeps hitting the snooze button. He pointed squarely at shifting global emissions mandates and a general lack of appetite for heavy, quiet EVs among high-net-worth buyers."We only need BEVs to be compliant for legislative reasons in certain markets just before 2035," Hallmark said. "I'm not going to give an absolute date, because it's imprecise. It could be 2035, it might be 2033, but it's in that three-year window. It's not 2031."When the EV finally arrives, Aston won't be building the battery guts from scratch. The company will rely on its tech partnership with Lucid for motors and battery packs, alongside its existing deal with Mercedes-Benz for digital architecture.aston martin not remotely interested in evs until 2033 at leastAston Martin is using the EV delay to pour resources into its combustion engines. Hallmark confirmed the engineering team has mapped out a clear path to keep both its twin-turbo V8 and signature twin-turbo V12 engines fully legal and emissions-compliant through at least 2035.While you might see subtle hybrid assist added to help meet fleet targets over the next few years, don't hold your breath for heavy plug-in hybrids. Hallmark remains vocal about avoiding PHEV setups, arguing that massive battery packs add too much dead weight to sports cars that are supposed to feel agile in the corners.For now, high-octane gasoline remains king at Gaydon - nobody buys an Aston Martin to save the planet - it's automotive decadence at its finest.Become an AutoGuide insider.
