After successfully launching the all-electric Taycan, Porsche<\/a> is ready to take another giant step into the EV market. The German automaker plans to introduce its Porsche Panamera EV, a full-size luxury car, as part of its plans to speed up its electric transition.<\/p>\n

Porsche released the all-electric Taycan<\/a> in 2019, and the feedback has been impressive so far. In 2021, Porsche sold over 300,000 vehicles, with 41,296 being the Taycan. In fact, the EV sold more than the automaker\u2019s legendary Porsche 911 last year. <\/p>\n

The success has carried over to this year, with Porsche delivering 18,900 all-electric Taycans in the first half <\/a>of 2022.<\/p>\n

On the heels of its success, Porsche is accelerating its EV strategy. Porsche aims for 50% of vehicle sales to come from electric vehicles (including hybrids) by 2025. But, by 2030, the automaker wants 80% of total new vehicle sales<\/a> to be electric. <\/p>\n

To achieve its goal, Porsche plans to introduce several new electric models, such as the beloved Macan, its second best-selling SUV.<\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a>, Porsche is expected to start production of the Macan EV before the end of 2023. More importantly, the automaker plans to produce the electric Macan at the same output as its gas-powered counterpart, which amounts to over 80,000 annually.<\/p>\n

With Oliver Blume, Porsche\u2019s CEO, taking over as CEO of Volkswagen<\/a>, will it help speed up Porsche\u2019s EV transition? A new report claims Porsche plans to release an electric Panamera alongside an updated Porsche Taycan EV.<\/p>\n

According to a new report <\/a>from Autocar UK<\/em>, Porsche will release both the new Panamera EV and electric Taycan on Volkswagen\u2019s Scalable Systems Platform (SSP), which VW will use for its electric vehicles after 2026. <\/p>\n

Porsche is developing its own SSP sport structure on top of this to support \u201cPorsche-specific models.\u201d The sports platform gives a high-performance feel with a low cabin floor, which also helps lower the center of gravity. <\/p>\n

Although the Porsche Panamera is not set to arrive for a few years, here\u2019s what we know so far:<\/p>\n
