Porsche announced that it has produced its 100,000th Taycan electric car and highlights some of them that get significant mileage.
At first, Porsche was reluctant to make all-electric vehicles, fearing that the functionality its call made would translate into an all-electric car.
The first access of the brand to the all-electric global has cleared all doubts.
The Taycan is a preferred choice in the high-functionality sedan market and temporarily one of Porsche’s best-selling models. Porsche delivered just over 300,000 cars worldwide last year, and 41,296 of them were the all-electric Taycan, which even sold more globally than the Porsche 911 last year.
The good fortune of the electric vehicle has led Porsche to boost its electrification effort and has set itself the goal that “50% of its sales will be electric by 2025”. The automaker also said it needs 80% of its sales to be electric by 2030.
Porsche is in its after 3 years of production of the Taycan. Today, the German automaker announced that it produced its 100,000th Taycan yesterday:
On November 7, the 100,000th Taycan rolled off the production line. The iconic car rolled off the assembly line about 3 years after production began at the Zuffenhausen main plant in September 2019. The Neptune Blue Taycan Turbo S is intended for a visitor in the UK. “We are very pleased to have reached this milestone in production history so temporarily, despite the recent demanding situations posed by the semiconductor shortage and the volatile Covid situation,” said Kevin Giek, vice president of Model Line Taycan. “With the Taycan, we have made a decidedly successful start to the electric age. “
The company also shared where the Taycan is most popular: U. S. USA, China and UK/Ireland.
With this milestone, Porsche shared news of some of the world’s mileage Taycans after 3 years. The maximum mileage is a Taycan 4S with 188,000 km (~117,000 miles) owned by Jean-Hubert Revolon of Lyon, France.
The Taycan has been and continues to be a very successful vehicle program for Porsche. However, it’s disappointing that it’s still the only all-electric Porsche. The electric Macan was meant to be available now, but is delayed for a while. After seeing how the Taycan has taken a leading position in Porsche’s lineup, I believe a competitive electric Macan would be enough to achieve the automaker’s electrification goals.
It just can’t take place soon enough.
