Porsche, the German automaker with the highest profits in the world, announced that its new goals are to become a carbon-free company through the manufacturing of electric cars. To achieve this, the company aims for half of its new vehicles produced to be electric by 2025, and by 2030, over 80% of Porsche’s zero-kilometer vehicles to be electric.

Porsche’s Electrification Plans
Porsche announced in its press conference this Thursday its new goals to become a company exclusively producing electric cars. By 2025, Porsche aims for 50% of its new vehicles produced to be electric, and by 2030, this number is expected to rise to at least 80%. In this way, the company will become carbon-free.
According to Blume, Porsche is likely undergoing the biggest transformation in its history. The vice president of Porsche’s executive board, Lutz Meschke, added that the company is resolutely driving investments in sustainability, electrification, and digitalization.
To ensure its goal of having 80% of its fleet comprised of electric cars by 2030, Porsche is investing in premium electric car charging stations along with its partners, as well as in its own charging infrastructure. Additionally, other investments in essential technologies, such as battery module and system production, are ongoing. High-performance battery cells are also being developed, which are expected to begin mass production by 2024.
Last year, the best-selling car models from Porsche were the Macan and the Cayenne. The Taycan, the first electric car produced by Porsche, saw its delivery numbers more than double in 2021. The new electric car surpassed the sales of the 911 car, which also set a new record.
The production of electric cars does not stop with the Taycan. The president of Porsche stated that the company is ramping up its electric offensive with another electric car model: Approximately by 2025, the company will offer a new Porsche 718 electric sports car with a central motor exclusively in a fully electric form.
In 2021, nearly 40% of the total cars delivered in Europe by Porsche were already hybrids (partially electric).
What Is the Cost of Maintaining an Electric Car in Brazil in 2022?
One of the most significant points to highlight is the cost of recharges. Electric cars use battery-powered motors; therefore, the batteries need to be recharged.
In this sense, we will start from the fact that the price of gasoline is approximately R$ 6 per liter. Thus, for a person to fill their vehicle’s tank, they would have to pay around R$ 300. Now, when we talk about a person who owns an electric car, we are talking about a value of approximately R$ 23 to fully recharge the battery.
