We had reported it only yesterday and yet Porsche is making more noise for its electrification and this time they add a more detailed and almost definite outlook. An all-electric Porsche SUV is “very likely” to hit the market by 2022 and there are more to come.<\/p>\n
But first to the electric SUV confirmed today by Lutz Meschke, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board and responsible for Finance and IT. What he calls a “large-volume model” is most likely the e-Macan and Meschke added that “it\u2019s very likely that a [battery-powered] SUV will come by 2022”.<\/p>\n
Moreover, only this Monday<\/a> Porsche started a mini-production series of their all-electric lead horse, the Taycan. While the sports car may be charging ahead, this latest development sees Porsche running into volume terrain. Accordingly, the e-Macan is likely to utilise the Premium Platform Electric (PPE<\/a>), an architecture for electric-powered high-end cars that Porsche is co-developing with Audi.<\/p>\n But the Macan is not the only model up for full electrification in Stuttgart. Meschke went on telling reporters that the idea of all-electric cars “will then progress further with the next generations of the Panamera and Cayenne model lines,” and that “the direction for the large four-door models will be toward full electrification.”<\/p>\n That sounds good and is well in line with Porsche’s recent push for electrification. Back in September they already announced that between 2022 and 2025, a fully electric version of the Macan, Cayenne, Boxster and Panamera would be made available. As of 2027, only the 911 would still drive with a combustion motor, reckoned Porsche CEO Oliver Blume (we reported<\/a>).<\/p>\n
