US EditionPorsche Is Rethinking Its EV Strategy and Confirms Gas Versions of the Next-Gen Boxster and Cayman
Porsche delays full electric shift due to market challenges and tariffs, continuing combustion engines and plug-in hybrids through the 2030s, CEO says.
- Porsche CEO Oliver Blume announced a strategic shift on late Friday, pulling back EV plans to focus on gas and hybrid models including the three-row K1 SUV.
- The change reflects market challenges such as US import tariffs, China’s luxury market decline, and slower EV adoption, leading Porsche to delay new electric model launches.
- Porsche will continue producing combustion and plug-in hybrid Panamera and Cayenne models well into the 2030s while preserving combustion options in top-tier 718 Boxster and Cayman models.
- Blume stated, “These decisions build on previously announced initiatives,” aiming to achieve a balanced portfolio and strengthen Porsche’s position amid a volatile environment.
- This realignment signals Porsche’s medium-term strategy to meet diverse customer needs amid industry shifts while postponing full electric transitions like the initially planned fully electric 718.
