H Porsche το είχε ανακοινώσει παλαιότερα ότι θα ετοίμαζε 3 ηλεκτρικές Boxster. Εντελώς αθόρυβα ανακοίνωσε ότι τα 3 αυτά πρωτότυπα ονομάζονται Boxster E prototypes. Η Porsche τα περιγράφει ως “κινητά εργαστήρια” και όλα εφοδιάζονται με δύο ηλεκτροκινητήρες οι οποίοι τροφοδοτούνται από μπαταρίες ιόντων λιθίου στο 29 kWh. Οι ηλεκτροκινητήρες αποδίδουν 180 kW (245 άλογα) με την Porsche να μην δίνει περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για τις επιδόσεις, πέραν του ότι αυτές θα είναι παρόμοιες με τις επιδόσεις της Boxster S (0-100χλμ/ώρα σε 5.2 δευτερόλεπτα, τελική ταχύτητα 274 χλμ/ώρα).
Τα πρωτότυπα θα χρησιμοποιηθούν ώστε η Porsche να αποκτήσει πληροφορίες σχετικά με την πρακτικότητα και την συμπεριφορά των οδηγών. Οι πληροφορίες αυτές θα συγκεντρωθούν και θα χρησιμοποιηθούν για την ανάπτυξη μελλοντικών ηλεκτρικών αυτοκινήτων. Μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχει γίνει γνωστό αν η Porsche θα περάσει στην παραγωγή την Boxster E.

Stuttgart. rollout of the first of three purely electric-powered Boxster I started with the Dr. Ing hc F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, now a practical test in the context of large-scale test “model region electromobility Region Stuttgart”. Together with the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Stefan Mappus, put Matthias Müller, CEO of Porsche AG, the first near-silent feet with a sporty research vehicle in front of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart back.
“The electrical mobility is a central challenge of the coming years and the engineers at Porsche would like to contribute with the usual excellence of them to be resolved. The Boxster E will help us as mobile laboratories in solving the practical problems of electric vehicles the way that our customers expect, “Matthias Müller said at the launch of the Boxster E. could aim of this project, said Müller, with three purely electrically driven Boxster experiences on the practicality and user behavior – especially when driving and shop – to win. From this, researchers gain insight into requirements for future products, and the inclusion of electric vehicles in infrastructure.
Baden-Württemberg Minister President Stefan Mappus also highlights the signaling effect of the project: “Together with the automotive industry, we want to trigger the development of sustainable mobility in the Stuttgart region and thus the peak position of the state of Baden-Württemberg consolidate in mobility and expand. Porsche is an important partner to expand with its high technology products, the range of electric vehicles from Baden-Württemberg in the sports car segment. ” And Dr. Walter Rogg, manager of the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation (WRS), praises the Porsche’s commitment: “With the commitment to the Porsche proves electric mobility vision.

Stuttgart is one of eight “model regions Electric Mobility in Germany, which will be implemented by mid-2011 pilot projects for electric vehicles and electric infrastructure. The model region of Stuttgart is funded under the federal “e-mobility in model regions”. Overall, the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs (Germany) for Germany eight model regions around 130 million euros from the economic stimulus package available. The program is coordinated by the National Organization NOW GmbH hydrogen and fuel cell technology. Federal Minister Peter Ramsauer, “We need market-ready products that inspire and persuade the user in practice.

The Porsche Boxster offers with its concept mid-engine sports car is the ideal vehicle basis for the practice-oriented testing of the electric drive: The open two-seater is very light and allows the new components, electric motor, battery and high voltage technology crash safely accommodate the vehicle. At the same time to guarantee performance level of a Boxster S with conventional, verbrennungsmotorischem drive the sustainable sports cars fascination with new technology. The Boxster e are driven depending on the configuration of up to two electric motors totaling 180 kW. As an energy storage battery is used with a capacity of 29 kilowatt hours.
