Porsche's first electric car, which has been known as the Mission E during its development, will be called the Taycan (pronounced tie-con), when it goes on sale late next year. The four-door car with a sports car shape was first unveiled to the public as the Mission E concept car at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Taycan will be Porsche's first fully electric car. Other electric cars can't handle repeated hard acceleration because their batteries will overheat. Porsche executives have said that more electric cars will follow.
