JEEP GRAND WAGONEER GETS A BIG BATTERY, PORSCHE CAYENNE EV PROTOTYPE HIGHWAY TESTED

EV Channels Review

The Batteries Included podcast covers the upcoming electric Porsche Cayenne prototype, highlighting its impressive efficiency and rapid charging capabilities despite a relatively small 108 kWh battery. The vehicle is projected to achieve 350-360 miles of range in highway conditions, with charging from 10-80% taking under 15 minutes. A notable drawback is the AC charging port situation, which requires using a separate J1772 port on the other side of the vehicle, a design choice attributed to hardware supply chain issues that the hosts believe will confuse consumers. The podcast also touches on the Dodge Daytona EV's surprisingly affordable lease deal, the challenges faced by new automakers like Lucid with their Gravity model, and the upcoming Fiat Topolino and Citroen Ami for the US market.
