This from a recent press statement.........
Porsche and Audi are representing the Volkswagen Group in Ionity, which is a joint venture with BMW, Daimler, and Ford to construct and operate 400 powerful rapid charging stations in Europe by 2020.
In case you’re wondering why an automaker that has built its reputation on making exciting sports cars is investing so heavily into electrification, Porsche said since the market launch of the new Panamera, approximately 60 percent of all vehicles delivered in Europe were hybrid variants. That figure is even more impressive in other markets like Scandinavia, which reached around 90 percent.
