Porsche has unveiled its latest electric vehicle (EV), the Cayenne Electric, a car that it claims is the most powerful it has ever made.
The fully electric SUV can go from 0-100km per hour in 2.5 seconds and 0-200km per hour in 7.4 seconds, and has a top speed of 260km per hour. Boasting up to 400 kw of charging power, the EV has a range of 642 kilometers.

The Cayenne Electric is the first of Porsche’s models to support something called ‘inductive charging’, in other words wireless charging, up to 11kw. All you need to do is park it above a floor plate, at which point the charging begins automatically.
The company also claims the Cayenne Electric is one of its most aerodynamic SUVs offering “benefits in terms of range and energy consumption”.

The Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) system adapts the car’s aerodynamic properties to the driving environment. To do this it uses moveable cooling air flaps in the nose, an adaptive roof spoiler and “innovative, active aero blades” at the rear.
Oliver Blume, chairman of the executive board at Porsche AG, says the Cayenne Electric “shows performance in a completely new dimension” and includes “innovative technologies”.

“Outstanding electric performance meets very real everyday usability,” Blume stated. “Excellent long-distance comfort combines with uncompromising off-road capability.”

Max joined The Eco Experts as content manager in February 2024 and became deputy editor in 2025. He has written about sustainability issues across numerous industries, including maritime, supply chain, finance, mining, and retail. He has also written extensively for consumer titles like City AM, The Morning Star, and The Daily Express.
In 2020, he covered in detail the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) legislation on sulphur emissions and its effects on the global container shipping market as online editor of Port Technology International.
He also explored the initiatives major container ports and terminals have launched in order to ship vital goods across the world without polluting the environment.
Since then, he has reported heavily on the impact made by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices on the supply chain of minerals, with a particular focus on rare earth mining in Africa.
As part of this, in 2022 Max visited mines and ports in Angola to hone in on the challenges being faced by one of the world’s biggest producers of rare earth minerals.
His most recent sustainability-related work came much closer to home, as he investigated the eco-challenges faced by independent retailers in the UK, specifically looking at how they can cut emissions and continue to thrive.
Max lives in South London and is an avid reader of books on modern history and ghost stories. He has also recently learned to play the game Mahjong and takes every opportunity to do so. He is also yet to find a sport he doesn’t enjoy watching.
