Porsche CFO believes sales of new cars with combustion engines could continue in the European Union after 2035, and Lincoln is cutting 100 dealers in the United States this year.

This is AM Drive, Motor1's daily look at the news you need before you get in your car.

Porsche Thinks The Combustion Engine Could Survive Beyond 2035 in The EU

Porsche Chief Financial Officer Lutz Meschke attended the world premiere of the Macan EV this week in Singapore where he let it slip the combustion engine's future might not be as dark as claimed. Speaking with Automotive News Europe, the company's CFO said: "There's a lot of discussions right now around the end of the combustion engine. I think it could be delayed."

He was referring to the sales ban on new cars with combustion engines in the European Union from 2035. For the sake of clarity, the ban refers to cars that generate emissions, so in theory, hydrogen-burning combustion engines or ones that run on synthetic fuels could be allowed. In March 2023, Reuters reported on the European Commission's draft to allow sales of new ICE cars after 2035 provided the vehicles run on climate neutral fuels.

Later in September, the news agency followed-up with a story about another draft demanding automakers to demonstrate that their cars can run entirely on e-fuels that are carbon neutral.

In the case of Porsche, the Zuffenhausen-based marque projects more than 80 percent of cars delivered globally annually will be EVs by 2030. In the meantime, a gas model will be prematurely retired in the European Union where the first-generation Macan will cease to exist later this year due to upcoming cybersecurity regulations. The fully electric, second-generation model will indirectly take its place, but at a much higher price tag.

Oil companies and jamesc used petrol cars have an evil agenda to thwart the greens from implementing green energy because we only care about making enormous profits and couldn't careless about global warming.

We will succeed because we have a lot of big time politicians in our pockets.

Don't waste your money on electric cars.

The only one you should buy is this one I got for boy boy.

:D

Not surprising seeing all the problems with electric in Europe and States, our weather more forgiving. The resale value also 😰

Porsche invested heavily on synthetic fuel

Porsche investment in synthetic fuel to preserve its Classic.

Currently, it is US$10/L.

Unlikely to be lower than US$5/L even with economic of scale
