Are you a fan of electric cars? If so, get ready for an electrifying update from Porsche! The iconic German automaker has recently confirmed that it's bringing not one, not two, but three all-electric models to its lineup, including the Macan EV, Cayenne EV, and 718 EVs (Boxster and Cayman). As an owner of two Teslas, I'm excited to see what Porsche has in store for us.
According to Albrecht Reimold, Porsche's Board Member for Production and Logistics, the team in Bratislava will deliver the new Cayenne with the same Porsche quality we all know and love. The Cayenne has been a standout in the sporty SUV segment for over two decades, with the highest demand among all Porsche model lines in 2022, delivering over 95,000 units. Now, with the third generation of the SUV, production has moved entirely to Bratislava, where the site has been producing models with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
The plant in Slovakia is currently preparing for the start of series production of the upgraded new Cayenne, which boasts significant improvements in its powertrain, chassis, design, equipment, and connectivity. The Porsche Development Centre in Weissach has made major revisions to the Cayenne's chassis system, aiming to achieve a perfect balance between on-road performance, long-distance comfort, and off-road capability.
As we wait for the all-electric Cayenne to hit the market, it's worth noting that Porsche is not a newcomer to the electric vehicle market. In fact, the Taycan has already proven to be a fierce competitor to Tesla's Model S, and with the addition of the Macan EV, 718 EV, and upcoming all-electric Cayenne, Porsche is cementing its commitment to electric mobility. The company has set ambitious targets for itself, with the aim of making half of its global sales electric vehicles by 2025.
Porsche's move towards electrification is in line with the wider trend in the automotive industry, with many other manufacturers also developing and launching electric models. As more and more countries look to phase out the sale of new combustion engine vehicles, it's clear that electric cars will play a major role in the future of transportation.
Overall, it's an exciting time for electric vehicle enthusiasts, as Porsche and other manufacturers continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with this technology. With more all-electric models hitting the market, we can expect to see increased competition, innovation, and improved performance across the board.
Looking forward to seeing what Porsche brings to the table with its EV lineup soon.
