I think that's not entirely fair. There are several viable reasons why an investment into something like this makes a lot of sense. Firstly, Porsche is a manufacturer that caters to enthusiasts and many of those customers are very much wedded to ICE engines, manual gearboxes etc. Those customers will continue to buy new cars that utilise existing ICE engine designs, but more importantly Porsche has many customers who keep their cars for decades and this will allow them to continue to run them without changing the cars character. Secondly, Porsche (or more accurately, VAG) are very much investing into EV's - arguably they could have done it faster and earlier, but the investment is very much there now. Having technology like this diversifies what they can offer and in the case of some sort of global component shortage for batteries for instance, they can continue to scale. As a bit of an enthusiast myself, if I can continue to run the cars I already own at a similar environmental impact to a new EV, frankly I would be delighted, even if the cost of the fuel is significantly higher.
