The automaker will electrify its compact SUV Macan, followed by the 718 sports car and then the best-selling Cayenne, Porsche e-fuels team leader Karl Dums said. The 911, accounting for 13% of sales in 2022, is the exception.

LONDON - Porsche has a plan to gradually electrify its car lineup so that electric vehicles make up 80% of sales by 2030, and it aims to make its iconic 911 the only internal-combustion engine model left standing, a top executive said.

"Our strategy in the first place is switching to electric mobility and ... we will produce the 911 as long as possible with a combustion engine," Dums said.E-fuel is made from captured carbon dioxide and renewably produced hydrogen - when it burns it re-emits CO2, which proponents say makes it carbon-neutral.

By comparison, e-fuel startups – focused mostly on aviation fuel – have attracted less than $1 billion in investment, according to Pitchbook.
