The upcoming all-electric versions of the Porsche Boxster and Cayman will be different to most EVs. You see, while most electric cars have their batteries fitted underneath the floor, the units in the new Porsches will be found behind the seats – the same place you’ll find the engine in the current petrol versions. Porsche claims that fitting the batteries here will help to keep the new Boxster and Cayman better balanced and avoid having to raise the driving position.

Aston Martin electric SUV
Little is currently known about Aston Martin’s first fully-electric model, including how it will look; however, it’s said to feature electric motors sourced from the American automotive and technology company Lucid. Each motor is reportedly capable of producing as much as 670bhp, and it’s highly likely that Aston Martin will use more than one on their upcoming, as yet unnamed, SUV.
Nissan Pixo
Nissan’s smallest model will be closely related to the Renault Twingo and will use the same underpinnings as the Renault 5 and upcoming Nissan Micra, albeit in a chopped-down form. The Nissan Pixo is anticipated to be priced from around £17,000, will feature a 121bhp motor and a battery no larger than 40kWh. As with the Twingo, buyers can also expect a bold interior that features physical controls for the air conditioning and a 10.1in touchscreen with Google-based software.

Peugeot 208
Going by the brand’s Polygon concept car, the next generation Peugeot 208 will be quite a radical electric hatchback. Putting aside the bold styling, it will be the first production Peugeot to use steer-by-wire technology, meaning the front wheels and steering wheel are connected by electrical signals. As a result, Peugeot claims drivers can turn the wheels to full lock with a single turn of the steering wheel, resulting in a far more agile car. Inside, the new 208 is set to forgo a conventional touchscreen in favour of a large head up display that projects information onto the touchscreen. It’s expected that the new 208 will use the same underpinnings as the next Vauxhall Corsa, meaning hybrid and full electric versions are likely.
