Charge your new Porsche EV in just 15 minutes

So you are trying to be noble and save the polar bears and you want to buy an electric car. Well, up until recently your best choice for a long range, decent looking all-electric car was a Tesla.

Elon Musk's company was the first to create a premium, appealing electric car in the modern age, and arguably he has remained in front of the electric race ever since. But now, Porsche's competitor is just around the corner.

Introducing the Porsche Taycan

The stunning car in these pictures is the Mission E concept, which previews the new all-electric Taycan that Porsche will be hoping takes the fight directly to the Tesla Model S. It packs some impressive statistics, such as 600bhp, a 0-60mph time of less than 3.5 seconds, and a claimed range of over 300 miles.

But one of the biggest barriers to EV ownership is range anxiety and long charge times. However, Porsche reckons it has the answer.

The 'electric pit stop'

This week Porsche unveiled the 'electric pit stop', a charging station capable of juicing your Taycan up to 250 miles of range in only 15 minutes.

Not only is it faster at charging than Tesla, it is designed to be better looking as well. It will have a sleek design and a 10-inch touch screen.

Porsche will be looking to initially place these super charging stations at most of its 200 US dealers in a bid to serve the wealthier areas.

Soon though, quick charging capability for electric cars will be a standard feature. This will mean Porsche and other up market EV car makers will need to come up with better and more unique selling points.

Let the race for EV domination continue.
