Porsche sells fully electric Taycan.


It is a great EV too.


they're also innovating on synthetic fuel.


That’s the story the FDP is trying to sell - we should be „open“ on technology, because synthetic fuels will supposedly be just as environmentally friendly as EV cars. Never mind that well-to-wheel, they’d use 5x the energy of EVs and still have most of the other issues of ICE cars, like noise and local pollution (e.g. nox).

In reality, it’s about keeping fossil fuels and ICE cars around as long as possible.


> it’s about keeping fossil fuels and ICE cars around as long as possible

yeah, what tipped you off, the fact that they're trying to keep them fueled at great cost? i'm glad a real sherlock holmes like you is on the case.
