- Car manufacturer says the electric SUV is the most powerful vehicle it has ever made

- The new EV can be charged wirelessly
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.”
