PORSCHE CAYENNE EV GOES THE DISTANCE IN FIRST-EVER RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

Porsche's new Cayenne EV has demonstrated impressive real-world highway range, exceeding expectations with a tested figure of 353 miles at an average speed of 70 mph. Despite a challenging course with significant elevation changes, the vehicle maintained a consistent 3.3 miles per kWh. The reviewer highlights the Cayenne EV's exceptional charging capabilities, capable of replenishing 10% to 80% in approximately 15 minutes, a feat made possible by its advanced thermal management system with top and bottom battery cooling. While the specific trim tested was the base model with an off-road package, which typically incurs a range penalty, the results were remarkably close to those achieved by other variants. The reviewer praises the vehicle's comfort, quietness, and NVH levels, anticipating even greater range (potentially 370-380 miles) on flatter terrain. The introduction of inductive charging is also noted as a premium convenience feature. Overall, the Cayenne EV is positioned as a strong contender for long-distance travel, combining substantial range with class-leading charging performance.
