Porsche has abandoned its sales targets for electric vehicles amid waning demand from customers. The Telegraph has the story.
The German car manufacturer previously said that EVs would account for 80% of its new vehicle sales by 2030. But bosses have now watered down that goal, saying sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops around the world.
It comes after a slew of rival car companies watered down plans for electric models, cast doubt on customer enthusiasm for the technology and expressed support for low-carbon alternatives to petrol known as e-fuels.
Porsche said: “The transition to electric vehicles will take longer than we assumed five years ago.
“Our product strategy is set up such that we could deliver over 80% of our vehicles as all electric in 2030 – dependent on customer demand and the development of electromobility.”
Oliver Blume, Porsche’s Chief Executive, said as recently as March that the company would “stay true” to its target.
However, Porsche has also been keen to emphasise its ability to react to swings in demand, with its factory in Leipzig capable of making fully electric cars, plug-in hybrids and combustion engines on one production line.
Carmakers including Mercedes-Benz and Renault have scaled back their EV targets in recent months and even Tesla has softened its sales forecasts amid signs consumers are reluctant to make the switch from petrol and diesel models.

Good luck to ’em! The forgers that is.
Problem Reaction Solution
My only concern is that the forgeries need to be better.
So they identify 100 of the most amateurish slapdash forgeries simply because of spelling mistakes. Who knows how many use more professional forgers and how would border staff validate one from Bulgaria (Cyrilic script) or in Greek ?
The report says a majority of the 20,000 daily arrivals are hauliers, does Mities contract extend to checking up on those whose ‘home’ is an overnight truckstop at a motorway service station ?
Total unthought out shitshow as per usual.
Who would have thought!
Who would have thought…faking covid results in a NHS hospital?

Here we go. A justification for more stringent control: implants, internment…
They missed the obvious point that all these nasty, dirty foreigners coming in with their fake certificates have caused a massive spike in cases and deaths. oh wait…
Probably just added to all the bodies in the streets and overwhelmed hospitals, after that huge protest march about three weeks ago.
… and despite this cases and deaths are going down as we’re coming out of the seasonal respiratory cycle. It’s all about control… that should be clear by now…
wow, so thorough in weeding out fake certificates but not yet able to figure out that this health crisis is a FRAUD….. funny world we live in
