Testing the Musk charging hole & Musk charging standard
They need to have performance parity between EU models and US models on charging curve, charging performance, etc despite different standards and port
It for sure will be 800V, if not higher, arhitecture; as that means less weight.
800V -> 250A
Lower current lets you use smaller copper conductors and reduces I2RI^2R losses. That is why 800 V systems can use lighter HV cabling, busbars, contactors, and sometimes smaller cooling hardware than...
Yes, it will be avaliable. It's already been spotted / heard around nurburing this year, before they even announced it for the Taycan.
Likely a paid option, like EVERYTHING in Porsche land.
It will be a colosal failure if they intentionally keep the cayman EV back.
As it is right now, the Cayenne EV is porsche's most powerfull car. So an SUV already outperforms the 911.
As for track performance, the car needs to at the very least outperform the taycan GT, for them to even claim...
They aren't launching with the battery from the video for sure, as that battery doesn't exist anymore. The company making it went bankrupt and porsche changed supplier more than a year ago - the whole reason this car has been delayed so much.
It delivered 39.39 kw from 40-50% to 89%.
So we can speculate that 39.39kw is 40 to 50% of the battery capacity. So the full battery would be 80-90kw (around the size of j1.1 taycan)
We don’t know if they will offer 2 battery sizes, but I think it’s unlikely
EDIT: just noticed that the video...
It started charging at around 40-50%, and charged until 89%; with a peak charging speed of 162kw and it stayed consistently above 150kw until 85%
That is already a bad scenario for charging and EV, as the Battery won’t be able to achieve peak charging speed by starting at 50%, likely with no...
While a valid point; that's not porsche's stance on things like this. All you need to do is look at the Taycan GT Weissach - a 4 door car, with no rear seats, with a massive spoiler that halves the range on any autobahn - by all apsects, a shit tradeoff in the name of track performance.
I will...
Those same EVs last 3-4 launch control, or half a lap of nurburing before they stop delivering full power. The taycan can actually do it all day :)
So that's the difference.
I thought it was unveiled 8 years ago?
Or are they finally unveling the release date: "trust bro, next year"?
Hard to think a company can be slower than porsche at rolling out a car.
The rear is just as weird as the old boxter.
On the cayman, it will look vastly better; the roof line goes all the way to the spoiler.
And yes, the charging port in on the back. It's the first porsche EV with 1 single charging port; so clear intention of lowering the price. The port should be...
I would say starting at 90-100k.
It's unclear if they will release GT4/GT4RS models; But i would put caymn s at 120; gts at 150; gt4 at close to 180; gt4RS at 200+.
Prices for porsche have only went up, and the new CEO is adamant in selling less for more. So i don't think they will, can or...
99% uncovered / uncumflaged 718 ev. Only stickers left as camo on it for lights and vent stickers for the non existing vents
And here's the car it used as inspiration:
Side skirts are very similar to MissionR; obviously no side vents. The headlights are also preatty much identical to the...

Just cladding with dents/cutouts for parking sensors. The real bumper hasn't been spotted yet. But seeing how all porsche EVs have the same rear bumper, would expect very similar
