(WEV) PORSCHE TO SCALE UP MACAN PRODUCTION

German car brand Porsche is aiming to scale up production of its new full-electric model to match current petrol versions.

Porsche is hoping to manufacture the same number of units of its full-electric Macan compact SUV, which will go into production before the end of 2023, as the combustion engine version.

Albrecht Reimold, who is heading the production, said: “We produce more than 80, 000 units per year of the current generation. In the long term, we also plan to produce the electric Macan on this scale.”

But it’s claimed the new electric Macan and its PPE platform sister model, the Audi Q6 e-tron, could be delayed as its parent Volkswagen Group is behind in developing advanced new software.

The new sports car will be Porsche’s second full-electric model after the Taycan coupe.

The Taycan was the car brand’s second best-selling model with 38,039 deliveries in the first half of 2022.

Porsche is expected to build the electric Macan and the combustion engine version at the same time for approximately two years, production boss Reimold said. WhichEV - link - Shumaila Iftikhar - link - more like this (Porsche) - link - more like this (electric cars) - link
