TO PRODUCE A FULLY ELECTRIC SPORTSCAR THAT CAN GO FROM 0 TO 60 MPH IN 2.6 SECONDS, PORSCHE HAD TO BUILD THE LARGEST FACTORY IN ITS HISTORY.
Company founder Ferdinand Porsche first started dabbling with electric motors as early as 1898. More than 100 years later, with innovations in lithium-ion batteries and infrastructure, Porsche designed and built its first fully electric sports car, the Taycan. With an eye toward sustainability for the Taycan and future EVs, Porsche planned to spend over $6.5 billion on electric mobility by the end of 2022 to create new vehicles, production facilities, and jobs.
The Taycan is much more than a superfast sportscar, it’s part of Porsche’s soul. Of course, to realize their ambitious plan, Porsche had a new factory to build.
