Porsche Details Cayenne Electric’s 800-Volt System, 113 kWh Battery and 400 kW Charging Ahead of Launch in Coming Weeks

A structural six‑module pack with predictive thermal management enables sustained fast charging with a claimed WLTP range above 600 km.

Overview

  • The SUV runs an 800‑volt architecture with a high‑voltage switch that allows up to 200 kW DC charging on 400‑volt stations without a booster.
  • Peak DC charging reaches 400 kW, delivering 10–80% in under 16 minutes and more than 300 km of range in 10 minutes, with 350–400 kW held to about 50% state of charge.
  • Its function‑integrated 113 kWh battery forms part of the structure and uses six interchangeable modules with 192 large‑format pouch cells for higher rigidity and energy density.
  • A double‑sided cooling layout and predictive thermal management use navigation, topography, traffic and driving behavior data to keep the battery in the optimal temperature window.
  • Porsche cites more than 600 km WLTP range and reports near‑production results over 563 km in controlled highway tests, with Europe launch in weeks, an 11 kW wireless option from 2026, and sales alongside the combustion Cayenne in markets such as Australia from 2026.
