One of the neat aspects of EVs is that most of their powertrain components are sized such that a single large compartment isn’t really necessary. The batteries mostly fit in the floor, and the motors and inverters are small enough that they don’t take up an entire engine bay or much of the cargo area. Since there are still aesthetic and safety reasons to keep traditional shapes, though, most EVs have a conventional nose section and a big area where something other than an engine could go. Now many automakers choose to just turn this space into another cargo hold, but Porsche seems to have a more fun idea: a lounge chair.
