the 50% number might just come from Chinese sales all by themselves - food for thought...

Quality
Will there be an quality difference between Chinese and European made Porsche cars? Or can Porsche force the same high standard for all production?
I ask because I worry about the same thing with Tesla Chinese factory when it comes on-line.

Tesla announced today that it's moving more production to china for "local" markets - I'm more convinced than ever that Porsche will meet/exceed it's 50% EV world wide sales goal purely on the basis of car sales in China… EV sales in other regions will simply bolster that percentage, but china will sales will be the driving EV volume for Porsche.

Goal of greater than 50% is too ambitious by 2025.....perhaps by 2040......there will be resistance from true Porsche enthusiast including me........but I will do my part to recycle as much as the next person.................

There's been a translation error. Porsche will not be 50% fully electric by 2025.

"We expect by 2025, roughly 50 percent of our products to be electrified, either with a fully electric engine or with a plug-in hybrid"

The PDK with turbo falls into a no-mans land for me- it's lacking driver involvement and sensory experience vs a normally aspirated manual, while on the flip side it still feels antiquated after jumping out of a good EV. If you're limited to just one car you might argue it's the best compromise between both worlds, but having owned a couple EVs and DCT cars the experience of PDK + turbos always hits me when I switch back and forth. Nail the throttle, transmission drops a couple cogs, revs flare, boost builds then go. After the nail the throttle and go of a good EV it feels decades behind. Of course a manual is slower still, but there you're engaged two extra limbs and your brain to do the same function, bringing you into the experience in a way the auto doesn't.

While 50% of the line up may have a battery involved the sales volume may be wildly different.

50% EV in 2025 sounds a little difficult. If Taycan starts selling in 2020, 2025 is only 5 years after. And the majority of Porsche sales in terms of numbers will probably be the base Macan and base Cayenne, both SUV and expected to be cheaper than Taycan. If 50% is EV plus hybrid, that sounds more realistic, but still difficult. I don't think I have seen many hybrid Cayenne and Panny on the road.
