Porsche doubles Taycan production to 40,000 a year
Luxury carmaker Porsche has confirmed it will be doubling production of its all-electric sports car – before it has even begun production of the prestige EV – from the previously planned 20,000 units to 40,000 units. The Taycan is Porsche’s first all-electric vehicle was made available for pre-order last year. But the luxury carmaker is anticipating demand will be much greater than it first thought. The unconfirmed news was first reported on German auto site Automobilewoche, alongside a rumour that Audi would also increase capacity of its all-electric e-tron – which is also not yet on the market.
The German carmaker has now confirmed that it will ramp up production of the Taycan two-fold, with Andrew Lennon, a manager in product comms for Porsche telling CNBC that, “”We had been ready for it.”
