Of George Lampiris

Porsche, which is traded by the group, records a stable route with its own loyal public, which translates into registrations of a total of 107 cars within 2021 (106 registrations in the comparable 2019), based on the data of the Association of Car Dealers Importers. Motodynamics.

At the same time, Porsche AG is aiming globally for the development of electric propulsion, something that was mentioned in the presentation of the financial results for 2021, by the CEO of Porsche, Oliver Blume. He noted that 80% of its total sales by 2030 come from electric vehicles.

According to the director of the Porsche branch of Motodynamic SA in Greece, Nikos Sinogiannis speaking to Capital.gr, the brand’s electrification sector “has made a strong start in our country with both the purely electric Taycan and the plug-in hybrid cars. Greek taxation even favors hybrid vehicles “therefore sales of hybrid Porsche vehicles are favored accordingly.”

23% of Porsche registrations were purely electric

According to Mr. Sinogiannis, of the total Porsche car registrations in Greece in 2021, approximately 23% were purely electric. Therefore 1 in 4 Porsche cars registered in Greece in 2021 was purely electric. In particular, 25 electric vehicles, 53 plug-in hybrid cars were sold in our country and the rest were cars with internal combustion engines. In essence, the sum of electric and plug-in hybrid brings the percentage of sales of these cars over 70% of total sales in Greece, according to Mr. Sinogiannis. “The models that will come in the near future and the 718 that was announced on Friday by Oliver Blume, fit the profile and the requirements of the Greek market. We therefore believe that they will further strengthen us in increasing the sales of electric cars in Greece”, says Mr. Sinogiannis.

According to him, the increase of the electric fleet in Greece is directly affected by the lack of infrastructure. “We understand that Porsche customers do not rely so much on public charging stations, as they retain the ability to charge mainly in closed parking lots. But what worries us is the lack of charging points on the highways. On the other hand, we see both on the part of the government and on the part of car companies and energy providers, that there is great optimism for the expansion of the fleet of Greek cars. in 2030 80% of the cars we will sell in our country will be purely electric Porsche vehicles, however it does not seem that we will be far from this percentage based on the current data “.

Investments in chargers in Greece by Motodynamics

In the field of electric propulsion in Greece, Motodynamics plans to invest in Porsche by placing more charging points where necessary. We remind you that a few years ago he had set up a 320KW charging station at the Porsche Center Athens in Metamorfosi. “Our general desire is to develop Porsche as it shows that with the models it has in the coming years it can grow in our market”, says Mr. Sinogiannis.

Global sales increase by 4.4 billion euros

Sales in 2021 were € 33.1 billion ($ 36.7 billion), up € 4.4 billion ($ 4.9 billion) from 2020. Porsche’s operating profit last year rose 27% to 5.3 billion ($ 5.9 billion) compared to 2020.

Porsche said on Friday that almost 40% of Porsche vehicles sold in Europe in 2021 were purely electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. In any case, as mentioned in the presentation of the company, this car industry does not intend to completely abandon the vehicles with traditional internal combustion engines where the 911 is an example.
