Porsche Planning Electrified Versions of Every Model by 2030
Taycan and Cross Turismo will launch the electrified Porsche campaign, with the Macan EV on the way.
According to Yahoo Finance, we will see electrified versions of every single Porsche car and sport utility vehicle by 2030. This campaign began with the Mission E Concept, which will be known as the Taycan in production form, and will continue on with the crossover version of the Taycan that will be called the Cross Turismo. The Macan, the brand’s bestselling vehicle, will be the next to get a charging door, but over the course of the next decade, every other model will get some form of electrification.
This includes the mighty 911.
Mission E
The Porsche road to electrification started by in 2015 with the introduction of the Mission E Concept. That sleek, sporty, all-electric sedan show that the company can incorporate the core values of the brand into an EV, resulting in a proper sport-luxury sedan that runs completely without fossil fuels.
The reception of the Mission E was so great that company planned a production version, which eventually began known as the Taycan. The look of the production Taycan is still a mystery, but the black-and-blue teaser images here are the best we have seen thus far. We expect that the production car will look a great deal like the Mission E Concept, but we will find out later this year exactly what it looks like when the Taycan finally breaks cover.
More recently, we learned that the Mission E Cross Turismo will arrive in 2020 as the Taycan Cross Turismo, looking like a roomier version of the electric luxury-sport sedan.
With any luck, the high performance drivetrain that will motivate the premium versions of the Taycan will also be found in the 911, but first up, we will see an all-electric Macan. This is a move that will likely keep the small SUV atop the brand’s global sales charts.
Hybrids, Too
In addition to the all-electric drivetrain that will power the Taycan and Macan, the German automaker plans to utilize more hybrid technology as well. The Porsche 918 is one of the greatest supercars in the world and it achieves its incredible performance figures with hybrid power and the Panamera is already offered in hybrid form.
Once the Macan is electrified and the Taycan models are available, the Panamera will join them to account for three electric-powered models in the lineup of six models. That leaves the Boxster and Cayman, the 911 and the Cayenne. It seems likely that the Cayenne will get a similar drive train to the smaller Macan while the Boxster and Cayman could share a drivetrain with the 911.
We are sure to learn more in the next few years, but above all, we can be sure that every electrified Porsche will be a blast to drive.
