Porsche was supposed to be one of the safest winners in the electric vehicle revolution. Instead, it’s cutting thousands of jobs while doubling down on EV investment.
For years, premium automakers believed expensive electric cars would fund the transition away from gasoline. But as battery costs, software development, factory upgrades, and global competition mounted, even Porsche found itself under pressure. The result is a restructuring plan that reveals just how expensive the EV transition has become.
In this documentary, we explore why Porsche is cutting jobs, what its financial results reveal about the true cost of building electric vehicles, and how Chinese automakers are changing the economics of the global car industry. We also examine the Taycan, the next-generation electric Cayenne, battery costs, software development, factory investments, and why affordable EVs remain far more difficult to build than many expected.
The biggest challenge facing electric vehicles may not be the technology. It may be the cost of transforming an entire industry.
