We perform a detailed dynamical analysis of the teleparallel dark energy
scenario, which is based on the teleparallel equivalent of General Relativity,
in which one adds a canonical scalar field, allowing also for a nonminimal
coupling with gravity. We find that the universe can result in the
quintessence-like, dark-energy-dominated solution, or to the stiff dark-energy
late-time attractor, similarly to standard quintessence. However, teleparallel
dark energy possesses an additional late-time solution, in which dark energy
behaves like a cosmological constant, independently of the specific values of
the model parameters. Finally, during the evolution the dark energy
equation-of-state parameter can be either above or below -1, offering a good
description for its observed dynamical behavior and its stabilization close to
the cosmological-constant value.
