Porsche Mission E

The future is electric and Porsche is making that clear by
producing a completely electric car that is set to be on sale by the end
of 2019. Porsche has announced that the Mission E will start at the
price of a base 2018 Panamera which retails at $85,000 USD ($97,000
CAD).

First revealed at the International Motor show in Frankfurt as a
concept car in September 2015, the Mission E is expected to have many
exciting features. It is believed that aspects from the 911 models will
be seen in the Mission E, such as the steering, chassis, and body.
Rumored to have two electric engines giving the car over 600 horsepower
(440 kW), and an 800 volt powertrain, the Mission E will be similar to
any modern day sports car. The car could possibly feature a range of 500
kilometers at full charge, and a 400 kilometer range at 80% charge.
This could give the Mission E a top speed of over 240 kilometers per
hour and zero to 100 kilometers in just 3.5 seconds.

Powered completely by lithium-ion batteries, the Mission E is
speculated to be charged simply by driving over top of a charging base
plate using inductive charging technology. If a charging base plate is
not available, the car can also be charged by cable. The car will reach
an 80% charge in just 15 minutes.

Porsche has continued to create an interior that focuses on the
driver. Other rumors have included that the Mission E will feature state
of the art such as a free standing control panel that can sense whether
the driver leans, sits up, or slouches and will adjust to these
movements, as well as an eye tracking system that can tell which
instrument the driver is looking at.
