Overview
- Independent first drives published Friday confirm the Turbo Electric delivers about 850 kW (1,139–1,140 hp) and sprints to 100 km/h in roughly 2.4–2.5 seconds.
- The Cayenne Electric uses a 113 kWh battery and 800‑volt hardware that enables up to 390–400 kW DC fast charging, aided by a double‑sided cooling system Porsche likens to 100 household fridges.
- Testers report higher real‑world energy use than Porsche’s figures and shorter ranges than the 537–542 km WLTP claims, with many public chargers too slow to hit the car’s peak rate.
- The electric model rides on a dedicated EV platform sold alongside petrol and hybrid Cayennes, and reviewers say it feels composed and agile despite a curb weight near 2.7 tonnes.
- Ownership costs and strategy weigh on adoption, as Singapore’s annual road tax for the Turbo Electric is reported at $13,095 and Porsche plans an upper‑range SUV with petrol and plug‑in hybrid options after slower EV demand.
