Aston Martin has postponed the launch of its first fully electric vehicle, with CEO Adrian Hallmark indicating the debut will likely occur between 2033 and 2035. This follows several previous target dates, including 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2030.

Hallmark characterized the company as a “BEV delayer” rather than a “BEV denier,” explaining that the brand will prioritize internal combustion engines, such as V8 and V12 models, until 2035. The company cited a rapidly changing electric vehicle market, shifting consumer demand, and a changing regulatory landscape as primary drivers for the delay.

By adjusting the timeline, Aston Martin aims to avoid immediate heavy investment in technology that may become obsolete. To support its eventual transition, the automaker maintains a partnership with Mercedes-Benz for engine technology and has secured an agreement with Lucid Motors to access electric vehicle technology.
