Porsche doom and gloom? Porsche will do fine for a very long time, they enjoy the fatest margins of luxury car makers. But unlike what was inferred here, Porsche will not be the brand to help EV penetration, on the contrary. They have too much at stake protecting their top end Panamera and Cayenne sales and will push for these hybrid abominations to milk the cow further and save face vs EVs.

As said many times before, hybrid only makes sense in very sporty applications (ie 918) or very small cheap slow cars (Prius). That’s because to make sense hybrid cars need a large battery to run for extended periods of time. The problem is that you cannot have a large battery on top of a combustion engine. Too heavy and pricey. In 10-20 years maybe but by then battery tech will have taken over almost entirely.
