Porsche launched its gross sales numbers for the primary half of 2025 in the present day, and the model is doing impressively effectively at EV gross sales.
Porsche’s 1H gross sales numbers are a combined bag, with an general worldwide gross sales decline of 6% 12 months over 12 months. However additionally they embrace an enormous improve within the proportion of battery electrical autos (BEVs) and plug in hybrids (PHEVs), with the model promoting a complete of 36.1% plug-in fashions the world over – which means EVs helped to maintain the corporate afloat as combustion automobile gross sales dropped quite a bit.
Porsche bought extra BEVs than PHEVs, with a 23.5% BEV share and 12.6% PHEV share. This represents a 14.5% improve from the earlier 12 months’s outcomes – a giant rise in EV gross sales alongside a drop in gasoline mannequin gross sales (hm, the place have we heard that earlier than?).
Porsche’s robust electrical efficiency is all of the extra spectacular on condition that the model solely has two electrical fashions thus far – the Taycan and the Macan EV.
Taycan gross sales have been down 6% 12 months over 12 months, which isn’t too sudden given the mannequin’s age at this level. Porsche has come out with new variants of the Taycanhowever these are high-end ultra-performance fashions, which don’t typically make up the meat of any explicit mannequin’s gross sales numbers.
The large development in Porsche’s EV gross sales got here from the new electrical Macanwhich goes gangbusters quickly after its launch.
Macan is Porsche’s best-selling mannequin, and gross sales have been up 15% for the mannequin general. That quantity was buoyed by large curiosity within the EV model, which accounted for “virtually 60%” (truly 57%) of Porsche’s Macan gross sales – which means the EV mannequin bought ~134% as many models because the gasoline mannequin. Totals have been 25,884 for the EV, and 19,253 for combustion fashions.
A part of the explanation for it is because Europe now not sells the ICE Macan, however exterior of Europe, it’s nonetheless accessible, and the EV remains to be fashionable (so far as we all know, the EV isn’t fairly a majority of Macan gross sales within the US, however it’s near the gasoline mannequin, and that’s nonetheless a lot increased than the nationwide ~10% EV share, which the US is a global laggard at)
“The totally electrical Macan is making a big contribution to our proportion of electrified automobiles. Total, now we have succeeded in protecting gross sales volumes steady and balanced throughout the gross sales areas regardless of ongoing geopolitical challenges. Our prospects proceed to position nice worth on individualised autos and we’ll proceed to broaden our choices on this space.”
-Matthias Becker, Board Member for Gross sales and Advertising, Porsche
We will anticipate, or no less than hope for, comparable robust EV gross sales efficiency from upcoming Porsche electrical fashions. The following one to launch would be the Cayenne EV, which we’ve seen lately setting a hillclimb document and towing numerous stuff in disguise. We anticipate a full launch of that mannequin throughout the subsequent 12 months.
Porsche additionally has each the Boxster and Cayman EVs within the pipeline for the long run. The one mannequin we’ve not but heard actual plans to impress is the 911 (c’mon Porsche, why would you wait so lengthy to improve your greatest mannequin? isn’t it embarrassing to see a Macan beating a 911 off the road?)
Throughout areas, gross sales have been down in Germany (primarily on account of robust year-ago efficiency, says Porsche), China, and the remainder of Europe, and up in North America and “remainder of the world.” China is of explicit be aware, the place Porsche gross sales dropped 28%, the biggest international lower.
Western automakers have been having a very robust time in China, because of the energy of home competitors and speedy rise in EV gross sales share there, which caught them without warning. You possibly can anticipate extra of that to return as Chinese language automakers will solely get higher, notably as Western governments and automakers (sure, together with you, Porsche) unwisely pull again on EV targets, leaving room for China to step up and develop into extra distinguished globally.
Electrek’s Take
I reviewed the Macan EV earlier this 12 months and got here away pondering that Porsche is nice at making automobiles, however that it may nonetheless use some tweaking of its EV technique. The automobile didn’t actually really feel like Porsche was “all-in” on EVs, and wasn’t using the distinctive benefits of EVs to make a automobile that was totally centered on being electrical, despite the fact that the bones of the mannequin present the standard glorious driving dynamics that you’d anticipate out of a Porsche.
So these numbers both present that I’m unsuitable about EV technique, or present simply how superior electrical powertrains might be. As a result of despite the fact that I believe there have been some missteps within the design of Porsche’s electrical mannequin, it’s nonetheless simply so a lot better than the gasoline mannequin.
And, fortunately, the general public and Porsche’s sellers appear to get it too. Lots of manufacturers have a troublesome time promoting EVs, actually because their sellers refuse to. Porsche’s sellers appear to get it much more than plenty of corporations, which is a credit score to them and to Porsche as an entire for educating them correctly concerning the strengths of their electrical fashions.
So we’re trying ahead to seeing how gross sales go together with these future EV fashions… notably the eventual and inevitable 911 (I lately drove an EV restomod 911and it was perhaps the very best driving expertise I’ve ever had in a automobile, so c’mon Porsche, if Everrati can do it then I do know you may).
