London, August 27, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Porsche continues to regard electromobility as an essential drive type of the future. Due to the slower ramp-up of electromobility and changed framework conditions in China and the USA, the sports car manufacturer is realigning its battery activities: In this context, the Cellforce Group GmbH is to focus on the research and development of battery cells in the future. The previous plans of the Porsche AG subsidiary to expand the production of high-performance batteries will not be pursued. It is currently planned to continue development as an independent R&D unit. The associated staff reductions will be accompanied in a socially responsible manner. In addition, PowerCo, the Volkswagen Group’s battery competence center, has offered to introduce suitable Cellforce Group employees to job opportunities at PowerCo sites.

Porsche is sticking to its electric course: electrification rate in Europe at around 57 percent in the first half of 2025, above the target set for the IPO
Porsche will continue to invest in the research and development of battery cells in the future. The sports car manufacturer is thus supporting its electric course, which it already embarked on in 2019. Compared to other traditional manufacturers, Porsche now plays a leading role in electrification in the corresponding vehicle segments in many markets. In terms of performance and charging power, the all-electric Taycan and Macan models set standards. In addition, with the all-electric Cayenne and an all-electric sports car in the 718 segment, further models will follow in the short and medium term that will bring trend-setting technologies in electromobility into series production. Worldwide, however, there are strong regional differences in the ramp-up of e-mobility. For this reason, the company is moving away from the originally planned scaling of battery production by the Cellforce Group and will focus on cell and system development in the future.
