Porsche says Boxster goes all-electric in 2028, but 911 ‘never’ will (yes it will)

This news isn't really about home energy upgrades — it's about Porsche's car lineup — but here's what happened. Porsche confirmed its Boxster and Cayman sports cars (sold together as the "718" line) will go fully electric starting in 2028, ending gas versions of those models for good. The electric version places its battery behind the seats rather than under the floor, a design choice meant to keep the low seating position and weight balance that sports-car drivers expect, similar to the gas engine placement it replaces.

Porsche's CEO also said the 911, the brand's signature sports car, will "never" go electric. The article's author pushes back on that claim, arguing that as more countries and major car markets restrict or phase out gas-powered vehicles, and as electric cars keep beating gas cars in performance and racing, Porsche will eventually have little choice but to electrify the 911 too, regardless of what company leaders say now.

For a homeowner, there's no direct action here — no rebate, deadline, or program tied to this. It's simply a sign of how fast electric vehicle technology and policy are moving industry-wide, even into corners of the auto world that have resisted it the longest. If you're weighing an EV purchase alongside home upgrades like a charger or solar panels, it's a reminder that the EV market keeps shifting toward electric, even for niche performance cars.
