Story Intro
Nearly every automaker seems bent on chasing Tesla and that includes Porsche, which recently introduced the electric Taycan. It joins a burgeoning battery-electric movement that began in earnest with the launch of the Tesla Model S in 2012. There are now a number of entries, from modest compacts to larger sedans and utility models (crossover). In about a year, there will be pickups and perhaps a sports car or two as well.
The Taycan (pronounced tie-con) EV looks like a real Porsche and from either end resembles the 911 sports car.
