- Cost and inconveniences of EV ownership
I'm already not happy about the Macan going EV, but I'd be really upset if this happens to the Boxster/Cayman. The fundamentals of a roadster include: light weight, manual option, good exhaust note. An EV model would be blasphemy.
For DD use EVs objectively can't be beaten. Going to the pump and dropping $45 a pop hurts my soul. But I'll still put up with it for the reasons stated above.

I think the rumor is that the next generation Cayman may go all electric sometime around 2023. May make the 718 Cayman GT4 a collectible car.
