Porsche Is Convinced New eFuels Can Save The Combustion Engine
It shouldn’t cost that much either. Blume says the price depends on future production, but there’s a possibility eFuel could cost less than $2 per liter. “The important thing is that synthetic fuels are produced sustainably and in places in the world where renewable energy is abundant – then the higher energy input for production is irrelevant.”
This doesn’t mean Porsche won’t cater to the ever-growing EV crowd. The Macan EV is inching closer to production and the Stuttgart-based brand has already confirmed the next-generation 718 models will be battery-powered. This may seem strange, but Porsche said that 40% of European market sales were fully electric or plug-in hybrids.
“Our ambition is for more than 80% of vehicles delivered to customers in 2030 to be all-electric,” said Blume. Thankfully, the 911 will fend off battery power for some time. “Weight [and] space are the enemy…if we can solve that equation, maybe [it] is possible one day. But not for the moment,” said Porsche’s Dr. Walliser.
