Porsche Taycan production is pictured in the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant.
BERLIN -- Porsche is temporarily halting production of its Taycan EV due to a lack of components caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Production of the battery-electric sports sedan is being suspended at the automaker's Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen factory from Wednesday afternoon until the end of next week.

The stoppage means that about 200 Taycan cars cannot be built a day, Porsche said in a statement.
Porsche's Leipzig plant, which builds the Macan SUV and Panamera sedan, will restart output next week at reduced levels because the supply situation has improved, Porsche said.
Production of the 911 and 718 model series at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen is not currently affected, the automaker said.
European automakers are struggling to obtain crucial wire harnesses as suppliers in western Ukraine have been shuttered by Russia's invasion, forcing them to curtail production.
