Philippine-branded EV

Francisco Motors has officially launched the Elektron, the brand's first all-electric compact SUV, offered in three trim levels. The five-door crossover offers 450 liters of cargo capacity and is distinguished by slim front lighting and a full-width rear light bar.

Inside, the Elektron comes standard with a digital instrument cluster, a central touchscreen display, and a rotary controller mounted on the center console. 

The interior

Buyers can also opt for multicolor ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, USB-C ports, a fixed panoramic sunroof, and power-adjustable front seats. 

Audio setups vary by variant: the base Basic model comes with a four-speaker system, the mid-range Fashion variant steps up to nine speakers, and the range-topping Deluxe gets a 10-speaker audio system.

On the safety front, all Elektron models include electronic brake-force distribution, traction control, emergency brake assist, an acoustic pedestrian warning system, and passive keyless entry with push-button start.

Front and back view

Additional driver-assistance features are available as options, including a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and front and rear collision alerts.

Powertrain options differ across the lineup. The entry-level Basic trim runs on a single motor paired with a 54.9kWh battery, delivering an estimated range of roughly 400 kilometers. The Fashion variant upgrades to a larger 63kWh battery for an estimated 500-kilometer range. Both trims share a top speed of 160 km/h.

At the top of the range, the Deluxe variant features a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup powered by an 81.5kWh battery, offering an estimated 600 kilometers of range and a higher top speed of 180 km/h. Across all three trims, the Elektron uses a CCS2 charging port, with a stated fast-charging time of 30 minutes.

The Elektron is now available to order through Founder Orbit, and comes backed by a warranty covering up to eight years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
