Porsche AG plans to invest more than €6 billion ($7.4 billion) in electromobility initiatives through 2022.

The money will go toward developing and launching a range of hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Porsche says the funding also will support projects to build a charging infrastructure and other smart mobility initiatives.  

 
The electrified vehicle rollout will start with the Mission E crossover model that Porsche plans to launch next year. The carmaker also is developing several variants of the EV, including the Mission E Cross Turismo concept (pictured) it unveiled at this month’s Geneva auto show.
 

Porsche plans to offer a mix of powertrains over the next decade, including optimized combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles. Last year the carmaker sold a record 246,400 vehicles, up 4% over 2016 levels.
