Just more ongoing Porsche bullshit and crapping on their own doorstep...by prematurely stopping production of the 718 series , they have in effect alienated the entire demographic of future Porsche wanna be owners. The 718 was such a good starting point to buy into the Porsche brand.

Well, they deserve to be eaten by Xiaomi and others.

I dont think they can compete with CATL or BYD. Probably will get cells from them and create their own pack. Plus they can play with chemistry depending on the product. Some cars will use NMC (Qilin 2.0 cells) and others LFP or even hybrid(Na/LFP like Freevoy).

if there were no dominant chinese EV OEM then Porsche would have sold lot more. But that is not true and they have no compelling product at the price point they want to sell in China.

porsche like many euro brands focused and marketed evs as environmentally friendly or whatever.
no luxury buyer cares about that nonsense.
