Porsche Backtracks: 911 Survives EV Apocalypse, But Will It Be Last Gasp For ICE? - Storyboard

Porsche aimed to be an 80% electric brand by 2030 but is scaling back its EV sales targets

This comes in the wake of an industry-wide slowdown of EV sales, with several automakers including Tesla feeling the heat

Potential reasons for slow EV sales include range anxiety and lack of reliable charging stations

However, Porsche continues to electrify its lineup with the Macan joining the Tacyan as the second all-electric model

Porsche will soon introduce an electric replacement for the 718 Cayman and Boxster

Prototypes of the all-electric Cayenne have also been spotted

With this slowdown, Porsche will hopefully continue to keep the 911, gasoline-powered flat-six engine

The 911 enjoys a cult-following and Porsche has reiterated that it will do whatever it can to extend its life with ICE

This means the prospect an all-electric 911 is highly unlikely, this decade

However, with an all-out 2035 ban on gasoline-powered vehicles, Porsche has no choice but to electrify its entire lineup

Porsche is also experimenting with E-Fuels and Hydrogen

As for EVs, current sales data shows that Taycan only makes up 5.67% of Porsche sales globally

With a long line of Porsche EVs in the pipeline, the German brand will need to adopt a strategy based on customer demand

For now, Porsche will continue to offer gasoline, hybrids, and electric cars.
