Porsche seems to be taking a cautious approach to introducing EVs, whereby they co-exist alongside ICE cars instead of immediately replacing them. The Taycan, for instance, could have replaced the Panamera entirely, but customers can still decide whether they want their large Porsche sedan to be electric or gas-powered. The new Macan EV spied just days ago will be sold alongside the gas-powered Macan, too.
Of course, this overlap between gas and electric Porsche sports cars won’t last forever, but it could see the automaker through until – and if – synthetic fuels become more viable.
The electric Boxster and its Cayman counterpart are expected to arrive in 2025. Besides the completely unique sound they’ll make, Porsche has also worked hard to make them feel like a traditional mid-engined sports car.
The overlap across Porsche’s lineup is expected to end by 2030 when the brand has committed to having an 80:20 ratio of electric:combustion models. The 911 has been confirmed as an ICE survivor in this case, and is expected to be the only combustion model family from Porsche.
