Porsche with its “Mission E” concept car joins a list of other famous European brands in saying the timing is finally right for electrics and are going after the leader, Caifornia’s Tesla Motors. Mission E will be 600 horsepower. Running entirely on advanced batteries, the car will be able to travel 500 km on a single charge and be recharged up to 80% capacity in 15 minutes. It will be able to go from zero-to-100 km per hour in under 3.5 seconds. Porsche says it will become a production car within the next five years.
