Porsche is off to a solid start ahead of the official launch of the carmaker’s much-awaited Cayenne Electric, with its prototype proving racecar-like performance and practicality during a recent global test. The near-production prototype recently completed a record-setting run during a film shoot at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in England. In the latest test, the electric vehicle finished a course of some 914 meters in record time for a SUV. Tag Heuer Porsche Formula E Team simulator and development driver, Gabriela Jílková, piloted the vehicle, which tackled a steep gradient of 16.7 percent on a road width of only 3.5 meters. The Cayenne Electric prototype passed the test in 31.28 seconds. “This course is challenging and does not forgive mistakes,” Jílková said. “There are no run-off zones and little room for correction. However, the active suspension of the Cayenne Electric prototype gave enormous stability and precision. I felt completely confident at all times.” The SUV was equipped

WEISSACH, Germany — Porsche is dedicated to ensuring the safety of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, exposing them to various harsh climate conditions and use cases to develop the safest-ever luxury EVs. The Porsche Development Centre in Weissach is home to the carmaker’s innovation. For now, Porsche’s primary focus is on developing EVs with highly durable batteries under any conditions. The durability of Porsche’s EV batteries is designed for at least 15 years of life even in harsh climate conditions, which is the highest level in the industry. The figure differs from each carmaker, but a number of them go for 10 years, according to the German firm. “We plan that our batteries last for 15 years under all conditions that our customers put them into,” an engineer from the firm’s research center told reporters during a guided tour of the test facility. “It’s very important for us to give a high quality promise to our customers — that this is really high quality here, and it can be used in

LEIPZIG, STUTTGART, Germany — On a vast area of land in the populous German city of Leipzig stands Porsche’s iconic manufacturing facility for not only luxury cars with internal combustion engines, but also electric vehicles (EVs). The Leipzig plant is located near the 32-meter-long diamond-shaped Porsche Experience Centre, where newly produced Porsche vehicles are tested at an eye-catching racetrack. Porsche added the Macan Electric to its lineup of vehicles produced at the smart and automated production line, ensuring manufacturing flexibility in this period of auto paradigm shift toward the mass adoption of EVs. The facility was busy assembling the strategic electric SUVs and Panamera luxury sedans. The Leipzig factory is home to Porsche’s much-touted “marriage” manufacturing process. The marriage is a type of an all-automated assembly process, in which vehicles’ chassis and powertrains are integrated by robots without any help from a human labor force. Porsche undertook major
