The New Porsche Cayenne Electric Hits Reset On What An EV SUV Can Be

"Two versions will be available at first, both offering dual-motor all-wheel drive, air suspension and a 108-kilowatt-hour (usable) battery pack that can be charged at a peak power of 400 kilowatts. When using regenerative braking, the electric motors can send up to 600 kW of power back to the battery, a noticeable improvement over the Taycan's 400 kW figure. The electric Cayenne can also be wirelessly charged from a floor-mounted pad that provides up to 11 kW, but that's only available as an option."

"Porsche says it takes as little as 10 minutes to add as many as 201 miles of range and less than 16 minutes are needed to go from 10% to 80% state of charge on a potent enough DC fast charger. To get these numbers, the charger needs to provide at least 850 volts and 520 amps. By comparison, the Lucid Gravity SUV also tops out at 400 kW, but its battery has a higher capacity of 123 kWh,"

"Two models will be available at first, both offering nearly 400 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. This is the Porsche Cayenne Electric. And while its looks might not be to everyone's taste, the Germans sure know how to put on a show when it comes to technical specifications. Put simply, the Cayenne is Porsche's most advanced electric car yet, and it can certainly hold its own against rivals from the United States and Chinaat least when comparing numbers on a piece of paper."

Porsche's first all-electric Cayenne arrives with dual-motor all-wheel drive, standard air suspension, and a usable 108-kilowatt-hour battery. Both initial models offer nearly 400 miles of WLTP range and support 400 kW peak DC charging with up to 600 kW regenerative power recovery. Charging from 10% to 80% can take less than 16 minutes and 10 minutes of charging can add as many as 201 miles when using an 850-volt, 520-amp charger. Optional floor-mounted wireless charging is available at up to 11 kW. The entry Cayenne Electric produces 402 horsepower during normal driving and increases to 435 hp with Launch Control.
