Porsche Electric Cayenne Will Be An Absolute BEAST! - CleanTechnica

The article discusses Porsche's upcoming electric Cayenne, internally known as the E4, which is set to debut later this year and promises to be a highly advanced and powerful electric SUV. Despite Porsche's recent caution about slowing its electric vehicle (EV) transition due to various challenges, including political resistance in the U.S. and shifting customer attitudes, the E4 Cayenne represents a significant technological leap.
