"It makes sense that Porsche would be trying to turn a new page. After all, this is an automaker long touted as the epitome of German engineering prowess that presently finds itself mired in a crisis. US tariffs, plus an unrelenting price war in China, has fueled steep losses at Porsche, including a $1.1 billion operating loss in the third quarter alone. And EV sales, especially in the luxury segment, are looking increasingly fraught in the current environment."
"Can the Cayenne Electric help turn things around? The specs alone certainly suggest a paradigm shift may be under way: up to 850kW (1,139hp) of power, 0-60mph in 2.4 seconds, a top speed of 162mph and, under ideal conditions, up to 400kW charging power, for a 10-80 percent state of charge in just 18 minutes. The Cayenne Electric will be the first electric Porsche to support inductive charging."
Porsche expands the Cayenne lineup with an all-electric Cayenne Electric offering up to 850 kW (1,139 hp), 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a 162 mph top speed. Under ideal conditions the vehicle can accept up to 400 kW charging for a 10–80 percent state of charge in approximately 18 minutes and will be the first Porsche to support inductive charging. Pricing starts at $111,350. The model joins existing gas and hybrid Cayenne powertrains as part of what Porsche calls a "new era for Porsche." The company faces US tariffs, a China price war and recent steep operating losses.
