"Porsche is hard at work putting the finishing touches on the first-ever electric Cayenne. It's a big deal for the German brand, as the big SUV is one of its best-selling vehicles, so it has to be as close to perfect as possible. There's still a lot we don't know about the electric Porsche Cayenne, but now that the first prototype test drives are done and dusted, we have a better idea of what the flagship electric SUV will be capable of."
"According to 's Greg Kable, who drove an unfinished prototype of the battery-powered Cayenne in Spain, Porsche is giving this thing everything it's got. Based on the same 800-volt Premium Platform Electric architecture that underpins the Porsche Macan electric and the Audi Q6 E-Tron, the upcoming zero-emissions Cayenne will be powered by a 108-kilowatt-hour (usable) battery pack with LG-supplied pouch cells."
"Depending on the powertrain configuration, the driving range is expected to be over 373 miles (600 kilometers) on the WLTP test cycle, while the maximum charging power will peak at an impressive 400 kilowatts. As a result, a 10% to 80% recharge will take just 16 minutes under optimal conditions, provided you find a powerful enough DC fast charger."
Porsche’s first electric Cayenne uses an 800‑volt Premium Platform Electric architecture and a 108‑kilowatt‑hour usable battery with LG pouch cells. Powertrain variations should yield WLTP driving range above 373 miles (600 km). Peak DC charging power reaches 400 kW, enabling a 10–80% recharge in roughly 16 minutes under optimal conditions and with a sufficiently powerful charger. Two charging ports are standard and located at the rear. Comparisons show the Cayenne’s peak charging surpasses the Lucid Air Grand Touring’s 300 kW and matches the Lucid Gravity’s 400 kW, though charger voltage requirements vary.
