After deliveries of its sole electric vehicle fell in the first quarter, Porsche says Taycan<\/a> production is due for a \u201cvery steep ramp-up.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Porsche set to increase Taycan production<\/h2>\n

Porsche<\/a> delivered 9,151 Taycan electric models in the first quarter of 2023, down 3% from 9,470 in Q1 2022 and a decline of 73% from the 34,801 models delivered in Q4. <\/p>\n

The drop comes despite Porsche\u2019s overall deliveries rising 18% YOY to over 80,700 vehicles, up from 68,426 the previous year. As a result, Porsche\u2019s total BEV share fell to 11.4% compared to nearly 14% last year.<\/p>\n

According to Porsche\u2019s Q1 earnings<\/a> released Wednesday, the company says the supply chain and parts availability was \u201cdisproportionately high\u201d with the Taycan compared to its other models. <\/p>\n

However, that is about to change. Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke said, \u201cThe focus in the first quarter for the Taycan was to deliver spare [high-voltage heaters] for our existing customers, according to Autocar<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

With a limited number of Taycan EVs equipped with defective heating systems, Porsche prioritized replacing the faulty units in models already sold rather than using them in new models. Meschke explained: <\/p>\n

\n

Now we\u2019re in a very steep ramp-up curve together with our supplier when it comes to the higher-voltage heating system, and therefore we expect an increase in the BEV share in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He added that Porsche is very confident it will reach its EV share target of around 12% to 14% in 2023. <\/p>\n

Despite the demand for the Taycan remaining strong, according to Meschke, the shrinking EV share is \u201conly caused by supply-chain disruptions and limited parts availability,\u201d an issue that has since been resolved.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

After hitting a milestone by producing its 100,000th Taycan electric model<\/a> last November, many saw the EV as a major success for the performance automaker. <\/p>\n

Meschke makes it clear that the delivery decline is due to supply chain issues and not a demand problem. <\/p>\n

With plans to rapidly accelerate Taycan production, we should see Porsche\u2019s EV share rise again. Meanwhile, the Taycan is Porsche\u2019s only fully electric vehicle at the moment. The all-electric Macan<\/a> model was expected out by now but won\u2019t be released until next year. <\/p>\n

Following that, an electric Boxster or Cayman two-seater will be released in 2025, and finally, the electric Porsche Cayenne is expected to roll out in 2026.<\/p>\n
