Porsche is owned by VW isn't it? The mismanaged Germany company that thought EVs were unimportant and refused to innovate for decades and probably funds the AfD? Yeah, this isn't a surprise.

That comment doesn't make the least bit of sense.
The company that currently beat everyone else thoroughly on EV in Europe is mismanaged, and didn't do enough development on EV?
In Denmark and Germany VW group has 7 of the 10 most sold EV models! and they have 3.5 times the marketshare on EV of Tesla in January.

they have that now, but they had a head start on EVs and then threw it all away to return to combustion, only to now pivot back.

problem is the liberal party in germany, that does everything possible to stop EVs (even more than the conservative CDU, but less than the AfD) and this party had the secretary of transport, what a coincidence. they tried theit best to redirect investment from trains to roads and car makers unwilling to produce EVs that a normal german can buy.
