Porsche has been dabbling in a lot of vehicle electrification in the last several years, ranging from the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder concept and the 911 GT3R hybrid racer to the new Cayenne hybrid that recently went into production. The latest addition to the electric drive program is a trio of experimental Boxsters that are purely battery powered.

Porsche has not revealed any technical details about the cars, but they will be used to test the drive systems as well as infrastructure needs.
