Holy cow: a Taycan road trip to Hyderabad
A return journey in the Porsche Taycan from Mumbai to Hyderabad: to mark the first Formula E race in India's history, Porsche invited a group of journalists on a road trip to experience e-mobility off the race track. The adventurers share their experiences in the Newsroom.
India is booming: Before the end of this year, India is set to replace China as the world's most populous country, then with 1.6 billion people. The economy is also on the rise. Almost 800,000 millionaires live on the subcontinent, more than Frankfurt has inhabitants. In addition, there are 166 trillionaires. Top 3 in the world. Porsche is also doing well in India. Last year, Brand Director Manolito Vujicic and his team sold exactly 779 sports cars.
This represents an increase of more than 60 percent over the previous year. Particularly pleasing: the Taycan already accounts for almost 10 percent of the total volume in its first full year in India. 78 all-electric sports cars found a buyer. Although India is now the world's third-largest car market, electromobility is still in its infancy. Although a good 300,000 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were sold last year alone, this figure compares with fewer than 2,000 charging stations. By 2027, there should be 100,000 chargers.
