While this vehicle will be all-electric, Porsche has also confirmed that its upcoming 'Porsche [911](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-and-puma)' will feature hybrid power. Porsche has not released exact specifications on its 718 sports car yet, but it has stated that this will be the "best all-electric car in the b-segment." While this landmark EV will release in 2025, Porsche has announced a new business-wide commitment to move toward EVs. The automaker stated that it is aiming for 50% of its sales to become EVs and hybrid vehicles by 2030. On top of this, Porsche wants 80% of this half to be EVs. This works out to approximately 40% EV, 10% hybrid, and 50% gas-powered vehicle sales by 2030. Porsche has only released this commitment as a guideline and it is quite possible that its [EV sales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-vehicle-adoption) could be a larger margin than 40% of its sales based on the success of its many upcoming EV models.
