Porsche AG’s first all-electric sports car will be called Taycan when it debuts in 2019.
The car is expected to have a driving range of more than 300 miles of range on the European cycle. Porsche says the Taycan’s battery can be replenished to 80% capacity in 15 minutes via an 800-volt, 350-kW charging system that the company plans to install at dealerships and partner locations in the U.S.
A crossover variant, which bowed in concept form at this year’s Geneva auto show, is expected to launch in 2021.
