Porsche recently released its second fully electric vehicle, the Macan EV, but overall sales of EVs in the market have seen a decline, especially Porsche’s other EV, the Taycan. Due to this, Porsche has decided that it will slow its full EV plan and keep the internal combustion engine alive for a bit longer.
Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke recently told Auto News Europe, “We are currently looking at the possibility of the originally planned all-electric vehicles having a hybrid drive or a combustion engine. We are currently in the middle of making conceptual decisions. What is clear is that we are sticking with the combustion engine for much longer.”
We are getting ready for the arrival of the all-electric 718 models, but it’s not yet known if Porsche will release hybrid versions of the Boxster and Cayman. Porsche also recently announced plans for an all-electric three-row SUV, which is built on a new platform. This new SUV could get a hybrid version, but we’ll have to wait and see. Porsche also recently unveiled a hybrid powertrain for the 911, but a fully electric version isn’t expected anytime soon. Lastly Porsche is also expected to release a Cayenne EV.
