Porsche is adding larger capacity battery packs to the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid 2021 range. The latest batteries have a capacity of 17.8-kilowatts per hour compared to the current capacity of the 14.2-kilowatt per hour. Although an increase in range is expected,  it is difficult to predict how much this change will affect range for MPG and EV  without a proper EPA test. Porsche appears to be in a battery replacement period these days. Porsche announced today that the Cayenne E-Hybrid would increase from 14.2-kilowatt per hour to 17.8-kilowatt per hour after increasing the latest E-Hybrid capacity.

Additionally, Porsche is updating its driving modes. Like before, E-Charge mode starts the engine to charge the battery. However, now the battery’s target state of charge is 80% rather than 100%. According to Porsche, this new calibration will help ensure that recovery braking power is always available. The automaker has also made changes to the Sport and Sport Plus modes to ensure that the battery has always maintained enough maximum performance power. It is also charged at a faster and more consistent rate in these modes. Check out this 2023 Porsche Cayenne S Platinum Edition, https://motocarnews.com/2023-porsche-cayenne-s-platinum-edition/
