I actually think it looks fine but it dates the car in way. Back in the day, car makers would put “EFI” labels on their ICE cars because electronic fuel injection was new and novel.

There will come a time soon where “electric” is no longer novel but rather the standard or baseline. This is when It will appear dated.

Yeah. That "i" in, for example, BMW 318i also originally stood for injection. And a Golf GTI was proudly a "Grand Tourisme Injection".

Let them imagine what it is....lol

My microwave is electric too. And my coffee machine. And my vacuum cleaner. Oooooh so fancyyyy... ELeCtRic. Bzzzzzz. No.

Where I live there's a fair amount of EV hate and sometimes even vandalism.

I personally don't want to advertise that it's electric.

I wonder if any non-English markets choose this option? I stumbled upon (I guess deliberately, actually) the German configurator and was shocked that this option was also in English and not spelt “elektrisch”. Watt’s up with that?

Unlike France for example, Germans have a high affinity towards words from the English language, and like borrowing words from it (sometimes affectionally called "denglish"). Car makers have been doing that for decades. See my example above, where the "i" in BMW 318i and VW Golf GTI stands for "injection", an Englisch word instead of the German "Einspritzanlage".

It's not a hard rule: Double Clutch Transmissions are "Doppelkupplungsgetriebe" in German, and that's what "PDK" means: Porsche Doppelkupplung.

Do you really have to ask ?

I like them! A neighbour over the road has a Panamera Turismo with e-hybrid ones.

It’s a no from me. But I tend to favor simplicity when it comes to luxury vehicles. I don’t have any decals, stripes or extra logos on mine. I only have the model designation on the rear.

 

[martin smirthwaite]

As above !

 

[swejs]

Yeah, I totally baulked at this but it's just decals rather than painted on isn't it? So my advice to anyone tempted, get it and see what you think then if you don't like it'll be pretty easy to remove

I had 'Boxster S' removed at the factory and left '718' on to see what it was like and had it removed as soon as i saw it. Both my Boxster and Taycan have nothing on except Porsche at the back.

I’d like to get your thoughts about the “Electric” logo on the driver and passenger doors. Leave it or take it off?

Not for me!!
