AutoExec Summary
Eight years after its current-generation release, the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman have ended production for the Australian market, paving the way for new electric models. Porsche ceased local orders by May 2024, with production halted in Europe and Australia, though US models will continue into 2025. The petrol 718 will be replaced by electric versions, with the Boxster launching within 12 months, followed by the Cayman. New UN regulations requiring over-the-air updates have contributed to the end of the petrol models in Australia. The new electric 718 aims for a 400-kilometre range, 800-volt charging, and a weight of about 1650kg. Porsche targets 80% electric vehicle sales by 2030.
