Porsche is ready to refuse electric cars, but only in one country

At the Shanghai Motor Show, the General Director of Mark Oliver Bluma admitted that the company could stop selling “batteries” cars in China in the foreseeable future. “In the next two to three years, we will see whether Porsche will exist here as an electric brand.” The reason is prosaic: the sales are low, the price level “suitable for Porsche”, high by Chinese standards.

Porsche bosses do not intend to participate in “price wars” and chase sales. However, they cannot ignore Chinese competitors in Stuttgart, because in 2024 the demand for Porsche in the Middle Kingdom fell by 28%. Due to the failure of the electric vehicles of the German brand, top managers lost their posts, and now Porsche is ready to recognize the defeat and completely remove the “battery” line from the PRC.

Porsche was disappointed in electric cars and again invests in the ICE for 20 years the supercar Porsche Carrera GT Volkswagen Panamera or Porsche Phaeton?

However, the decision will be made after the German company appreciates the demand for Macan EV and the future Cayenne EV at a long distance. The flagship electric -converter is waiting at the end of 2025. Judging by the statements of Porsche, the novelty will not be cheap. It is curious that Oliver Bluma does not consider the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra a competitor, since the “Chinese” cannot be compared with the running qualities of Porsche. However, a sedan of the Middle Kingdom costs four times cheaper than Taycan Turbo GT.

Porsche does not have a unique line for China, and the company rarely produces special versions exclusively for the Middle Kingdom: you can only remember 718 Spyder with a 2.0 turbo engine instead of “atmospheric” 4.0. Competitors in the form of Audi, BMW, Mercedes or even Jaguar are invested in elongated modifications and low -ior engines.
