The manufacture of batteries has become unkind to the economy, but it is not planned to leave the electric vehicles.
Porsche changed its approach to the field of electric vehicles and decided to leave the independent manufacture of batteries. The manufacturer will only focus on research and development, while mass making batteries has become unkind to the economy.
The subsidiary of the cellforce group, created to launch the serial production of batteries, will change the activity profile and will work exclusively as a research structure. Some of its experts will be accepted by the Powerco unit as part of Volkswagen’s reminder, which does not reflect the Porsche’s decision.
The main reason for this step is the lack of scale impact. Despite the brand’s popularity, Porsche cannot compete with mass automakers who make way -thousands of cars and thus have the ability to reduce the cost of batteries. In addition, sales problems in the USA and China do not allow the brand to rely on steady growth in these markets.
At the same time, Porsche emphasized that the decline of electric vehicles has not been discussed – the company plans to continue to build a power line, as well as maintain the in parallel manufacture of the car’s hybrids and cars.
Porsche does not set itself the purpose of fully abandoning the internal combustion engines by a certain date. All the major categories of models – sportsmen, sedans and crossovers – are more offered with three types of power plants to choose.
According to the results of the first half of 2025, 57% of the brand sold in Europe was equipped with electric motor, on a global size, this indicator was 36% (including hybrids).
Reminding, earlier, Porsche reportedly recognized the move to the early electric cars.
