Porsche 718 Boxster EV

The Porsche 718 Boxster EV is Porsche’s upcoming all-electric roadster, positioned as a sports car in the mid-to-premium performance segment. It is expected to keep the Boxster’s two-seat convertible body style and rear-wheel-drive layout in base form, with reports also pointing to possible dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants later in the range.

What makes it notable is that it is being developed as the battery-electric successor to the long-running 718 Boxster, marking a major shift from combustion power to a dedicated EV sports-car platform.

On the powertrain side, the most credible public reports still describe the car as pre-launch, so several specifications remain unconfirmed by Porsche. Leaked and preview-based reports commonly point to an 80–85 kWh battery pack, a WLTP range target of roughly 400–500 km, and an 800-volt charging architecture with DC fast-charging peaks around 270 kW to 320 kW.

Charging estimates suggest a 5–80 percent or 10–80 percent stop could take under 25 minutes at a suitably powerful charger, while AC home charging is expected to be around 11 kW standard with a possible 22 kW option depending on market and trim. Because Porsche has not officially published the final production figures, these battery, range, and charging numbers should be treated as provisional.

Pricing is also not final, but current reporting suggests a starting price in Europe of about €85,000 to €95,000, with higher performance versions likely climbing well above that. In practical terms, this car will suit buyers who want a compact, two-seat sports car for spirited driving rather than family use, especially those comfortable with EV charging and premium pricing.

Within Porsche’s own lineup, it sits between the more everyday-oriented Macan Electric and the higher-priced Taycan family in terms of brand context and performance focus. Its closest external rivals are likely to include the BMW Z4 and the upcoming electric sports-car alternatives from other premium brands, while a direct comparison angle would naturally point to the Porsche 718 Cayman EV as its hardtop sibling and closest spec match.

The Porsche 718 Boxster EV is expected to arrive as a rear-drive electric roadster with an estimated 80–85 kWh battery, roughly 400–500 km WLTP range, and ultra-fast DC charging, though final specs remain unconfirmed. Pricing is projected to begin around €85,000 to €95,000 in Europe, placing it in the premium two-seat sports-car class.
