Porsche Cayenne Electric to launch with high-voltage system

The upcoming Cayenne Electric model, Porsche's new addition to its SUV portfolio, is said to be based on an evolution of the Premium Platform Electric, which was developed in-house and features 800V architecture.

And at the heart of this new model is a function-integrated, high-voltage 113kWh battery that allows the Cayenne Electric to achieve a WLTP range of over 600km. The integration of the battery into the body structure also increases vehicle rigidity and further lowers the car's centre of gravity, contributing to its agile handling.

The Cayenne Electric's 800V architecture creates the basis for impressive charging power, intelligent energy distribution, and high efficiency

Another key element of the high-voltage system is the innovative cooling system, which regulates the temperature of the battery from both above and below. This dual cooling allows precise control of the temperature window and ensures that the battery always operates in the optimal range regardless of the weather, charging power, or driving style.

The new Predictive Thermal Management is also an integral part of the electrical architecture of the Cayenne Electric. Its aim is to keep the battery in the optimum temperature window at all times, which will help provide maximum charging speed, service life, and range consistency.

The Cayenne Electric's 113kWh battery offers 400kW DC charging that allows it to regenerate from 10-80% in less than 16 minutes

As for charging, the Cayenne Electric supports up to 400kW of DC charging at suitable charging stations, enabling it to regenerate from 10-80% in less than 16 minutes. In addition, over 300km of range can be added in just 10 minutes.

And there’s more to look forward to: From 2026, Porsche will offer its new Wireless Charging System - an 11kW wireless charging system with a compact one-box floor plate - for the first time with the Cayenne Electric. When parked over it, the vehicle automatically detects the floor plate and lowers itself slightly for charging, and the My Porsche app can be used to monitor and control the process throughout.
