Electric vehicles are becoming more and more common. Porsche is also active in the electric vehicle market. The company shared its report on its economic situation. It seems Porsche won’t stop trying to be effective in our world, which can’t handle global warming.
The luxury German brand announced a €4.4 billion increase in sales. He also announced that he had observed an increase in interest in car models.
Porsche’s pure electric car, the Taycan, managed to surpass the iconic 911 in sales three years after its release. According to data released by Porsche, the Taycan sold 41,296 units, while its flagship model, the 911, sold 38,464 units. The electric vehicle takes the victory here, but let’s also say that the Macan and Cayenne SUV models are by far the frontrunners, selling 171,433 units.
Porsche wants 80% of its sales to be electric vehicles by 2030. It also says it aims to remain carbon neutral. Part of the development will be with the mid-range 718 engine, which has been refurbished to be particularly pure electricity.
The engine is expected to be unveiled around 2025. However, to understand how serious Porsche is in electric cars, we need to see the electric version of the 911 and Cayenne models. However, the steps are seen as a solid start for what the company will do for the next 10 years.
Porsche also announced that it will invest in dedicated charging stations for electric vehicles and the company’s charging infrastructure. It is possible to say that the company has experience in this regard. Because Leipzig has a luxury charging stations.
It is possible to say that Porsche is similar to Tesla in this regard. Companies want to set up charging stations all over the place for users using their own brands. Audi, which is on the agenda with its electric vehicles, also announced about charging stations. The statement mentioned charging stations that can only be used by Audi vehicles.

Last year, delegates from Porsche traveled to the U.S. to talk about it. However, there is no certainty about the giant project of the two companies. But given Porsche’s decision today, electric vehicles are extremely important to the company’s future. So by 2030 we may encounter an Apple-Porsche car.
