It would be great if they can sell 25k/year in the US like the Model S. No chance of that until they introduce the lower priced variants presumably next year. I'm skeptical of their commitment to actually sell EVs though so I hope this isn't a case of 'Porsche doesn't see enough demand, so we aren't going to make a cheaper EV'.
- clouddrover 7y agoThey've already announced that the Porsche Macan (their most popular model) will be going all-electric: https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/26/18240862/porsche-macan-electric-ev-production-taycan https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/26/18240862/porsche-macan-el...
- electriclove 7y agoHope it actually happens. I'm jaded by announcements from the legacy car makers.
- clouddrover 7y agoIt will happen. Volkswagen Group will be the biggest EV maker in the world purely because they're spending the most money: https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vws-91b-spend-evs-outpaces-investment-rivals https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vws-91b-spend-evs-out... Five of their brands (VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Porsche) either have EVs out now or will have soon. Their other high-end brands (Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti) will have EVs eventually. I'm not sure what the plans are with Ducati but I imagine they will release electric motorbikes soon enough.
