Porsche’s Battery Investment Will Give The Taycan A Boost

From the looks of things, Porsche is playing it smart. The company is building an interconnecting web of suppliers to ensure that it’ll always have what it needs for its electrified models. With any luck, that also means the brand will be better insulated from any supply shortages, like those we’re experiencing now. Additionally, Porsche is clearly looking to level up its battery game.

By having subsidiaries and suppliers that develop batteries, Porsche should be able to better deploy these technologies in their cars. Given Porsche’s history of success with its models, these batteries had better be worth their salt. There’s plenty of similarly-priced EVs that can out-range the Taycan, and that has to change if Porsche is going to stay competitive.
