On Facebook, the company teased that its "Elektron" will launch today, July 27, 2026.

Based on the poster they shared, the new electric vehicle is a compact SUV with a modern look.

It is fully electric with "zero emissions," which is sustainable by design. The company also claims that it is built safe and strong, comes with an advanced battery system, and connected technology.

Francisco Motors has provisionally listed three Elektron EV variants.

The Basic comes with a 54.9‑kWh LFP battery and over 400 km of range.

The Fashion steps up to a 63.2‑kWh pack with more than 500 km range.

The flagship Deluxe boasts an 81.5‑kWh battery, dual motors, AWD, and over 600 km range, delivering up to 340 kW power, 640 Nm torque, 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, and a 180 km/h top speed.

Basic and Fashion models use single motors, hitting 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds with a 160 km/h cap. Fast charging via CCS2 is listed at about 30 minutes.

The EV is provisionally listed as a five‑door compact crossover measuring 4,640 mm long, 1,870 mm wide, and 1,655 mm high, with a 2,760‑mm wheelbase and 450 liters of cargo space.

It features a sleek EV‑style front fascia, slim lights, sculpted sides, a rear light bar, five color options, and a tech‑loaded cabin with digital displays, touchscreen controls, seating for five, and equipment like a panoramic roof, wireless charging, and premium audio systems.

Francisco Motors also said that Elektron EV is powered by DOMENG AI co-pilot that links vehicles, customers, partners, and Jeepney.io services. DOMENG manages reservations, payments, and support requests, but is not an autonomous driver or a substitute for human judgment.

Francisco Motors' long-term plan is to localize parts, components, and final assembly in the Philippines.

All specs remain provisional, subject to testing, validation, and regulatory approval.

Francisco Motors is opening 1,947 reservation slots with a PHP 1,947 fee, giving early supporters Founder Orbit access.
