The company revealed new details on the vehicle and its electric strategy in a recent statement. <\/p>\n<p>Stefan Weckbach, Porsche&#039;s head of battery electric vehicles, said in the statement that the Mission E will perform better than its high-end electric rivals, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/category\/tesla\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla<\/a>&#039;s Model S, despite having less impressive specs in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>Porsche&#039;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.porsche.com\/usa\/aboutporsche\/christophorusmagazine\/archive\/374\/articleoverview\/article01\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> says the Mission E can go from 0-60 mph in &quot;less than 3.5 seconds,&quot; which means it probably won&#039;t be able to match Tesla&#039;s Model S, which can do the same in 2.5 seconds. But Weckbach said the Model S can&#039;t sustain that kind of performance, claiming it can only go 0-60 mph in under three seconds twice. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The third attempt will fail. The system is throttled,&quot; he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Weckbach said the Mission E &quot;will offer reproducible performance and a top speed which can be maintained for long periods.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Weckbach also hinted at driver-assistance features, like the ability to autonomously park or stop and start in traffic, and revealed that the production version of the Mission E would have to abandon the concept&#039;s use of exterior cameras rather than mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The legislation currently in force would make it impossible to offer such a thing around the<br \/>world in a series-production vehicle,&quot; Weckbach said, and added that the production model would have &quot;structural&quot; and &quot;functional&quot; differences from the concept version without elaborating on those differences.<\/p>\n<p>Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Porsche Cars North America, also said in the statement that Porsche&#039;s plans to start creating a charging infrastructure that will make the Mission E and subsequent electric vehicles more practical for consumers. The company will start by installing 800-volt fast-chargers at its 189 dealerships and plans to develop a network of fast-charging stations in cities and along highways.<\/p>\n<p>The Mission E will be critical for Porsche as it seeks to challenge Tesla in the luxury EV market. Porsche announced in early February that it would <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/porsche-7-billion-dollar-bet-on-electric-cars-should-have-tesla-worried-2018-2\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">double its investment<\/a> in electric vehicles to $7.4 billion by 2022. If the Mission E delivers on the hype, it will bode well for Porsche&#039;s electric future.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#039;s what we know about the Mission E so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/electric-cars-that-will-be-available-by-2025-2018-1\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">20 electric cars you&#039;ll see on the road by 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>The Mission E will be Porsche&#039;s first, all-electric production vehicle.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static6.businessinsider.com\/image\/5a96c394aae60521008b46ea-400-300\/the-mission-e-will-be-porsches-first-all-electric-production-vehicle.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>It will boast 600 horsepower and the ability to go from 0-60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static3.businessinsider.com\/image\/5a96cd08aae60535008b457e-400-300\/it-will-boast-600-horsepower-and-the-ability-to-go-from-0-60-mph-in-less-than-35-seconds.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>The Mission E will have a range of over 300 miles per charge and the ability to get 250 miles of range from a 20-minute charge.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static2.businessinsider.com\/image\/5a96bb7aaae60577008b457e-400-300\/the-mission-e-will-have-a-range-of-over-300-miles-per-charge-and-the-ability-to-get-250-miles-of-range-from-a-20-minute-charge.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/porsche-reveals-new-mission-e-new-photos-details-2018-2#\/#the-interior-will-have-a-number-of-high-tech-features-like-a-digital-instrument-panel-that-mirrors-the-drivers-movements-and-a-dashboard-drivers-can-control-with-gestures-through-a-holographic-display-4\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">See the rest of the story at Business Insider<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/porsche-reveals-new-mission-e-new-photos-details-2018-2>Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche revealed new details about the Mission E, took shots at Tesla, and laid out plans for a super-charging network.
