Porsche drops target of 80 percent electric cars by 2030

It comes to such an extent that the drivers – and thus their customers – are not ready for electric cars. At least not to the extent the Germans had anticipated.

– The transition to electric cars will take longer than we assumed five years ago.

This is what Porsche's managing director Oliver Blume says according to the German media according to Automobilwoche .

That the drivers are not where Porsche thought they would be means several things. The brand from Stuttgart is dropping the goal that 80 percent of the model program by 2030 will be pure electric cars.

Furthermore, the Germans make it clear that the petrol-powered Cayenne will not be killed anyway. Otherwise, that was the plan. Now the petrol car will instead be produced in parallel with the electric version.

Porsche calls it being 'flexible'. Last year alone, Porsche also sold close to 100,000 Cayenne models with a petrol engine.

However, Porsche continues with the plan to kill the gasoline-powered Macan, partly because the current model no longer meets the rules here in Europe. The car was developed long before a new EU rule on cyber security, which must generally protect cars against digital attacks, came into effect.

The rest of Porsche's production plans now depend more on customer demand. Perhaps more than ever before. "It depends on customer demand and the development of electromobility in the world's regions", writes the German media.

Porsche also needs to cut back on electric car production itself already now. The car is or has just been presented in a facelifted version. But massive value losses and smaller order books cause the factory to go from three to just one shift change per day. Read more about it here .
