Although Porsche officials have repeatedly reiterated that we will not see a purely electric 911 model in the short term, the electrification of this legendary model is always in an orderly manner. Recently, foreign media exposed a series of core information of the pure electric 911 model.
At present, QuantumScape has received more than $1 billion in external investment, and the non-thin film electrolyte developed by the company is optimistic about many car companies, including volkswagen group, and is considered to be the solid-state battery technology with the most commercial prospects for mass production.
According to the German financial media "Manager Magazin (Manager Magazine)", the current 911 pure electric model is under intensive development, in addition to this car or will be equipped with a solid-state battery provided by QuantumScape. The Volkswagen Group is the largest shareholder of the American battery maker.
Earlier foreign media drew a hypothetical diagram of the 911 pure electric model
Back in 2018, Volkswagen had already invested $100 million in QuantumScape, followed by an additional $200 million in 2020. According to reports, the company has received more than $1 billion in external investment, which is mainly used for the research and development of automotive-grade solid-state batteries.

The report also pointed out that the pure electric 911 model will meet the public before 2030 at the earliest, and before that, the 911 will also maintain the internal combustion engine power. However, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume previously said in an interview that the company will never manufacture a pure electric version of the 911 model, and the electrification of the model may adopt a hybrid solution.
Previously, foreign media exposed the Porsche 911 Hybrid spy photo
Coincidentally, we recently reported on the spy photos of the 911 Hybrid, so it can be predicted that between the current low energy density and high cost of solid-state batteries, Porsche may be the first to use the technology on the 911 hybrid model to test the feasibility of the water, which also coincides with Toyota's attitude to the technology. According to previous news, Toyota plans to equip the next generation of Prius models with solid-state batteries.
