Porsche revealed its Boxster E Electric at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Berlin, Germany with plans for a zero-emission, sustainable future. With its Boxster E, Porsche hopes to evaluate how practical electric cars actually are, in regards to the everyday practicality of battery charging and driving. While the first Boxster E prototype features a twin electric motor drivetrain, the second and third Boxster E prototypes are only equipped with a single motor; therefore, the first Boxster E prototype can max out at 241 horsepower while the other two Boxster E prototypes peak at 120 horsepower. The Boxster E prototypes all feature a lithium-iron-phosphate based traction battery, with the overall weight of the Boxster E weighting around 3,527 pounds. However, it is hard to say if the electric Boxster E will actually be available for sale within the next few, as Porsche maintains that its three Boxster E prototypes are merely test vehicles meant to examine and understand how and if electric cars can be efficiently incorporated into one's everyday life.
