Porsche cayenne Electric’s Battery Cooling System Demands Notable Energy
BUCHAREST, Romania โ – โขThe new all-electric Porsche Cayenne requires a battery cooling system comparable to the power draw of 100 household refrigerators, according to a report by PiataAuto.md.this substantial โenergy demand raises concerns about overall efficiency despite the โฃshift to electric powertrains.
While Porsche is implementing anโ smart system designed to preemptively reduce cooling โขpower when not โneeded, energy losses throughout the system – including cooling, power conversion, and transmission – are estimatedโ to reach 32-40% without considering wireless โคcharging. Adding โขcabin heating inโฃ winter could โคpush totalโข energy loss alarmingly close to 50%, mirroring the efficiencyโฃ of traditional combustion engines – a key reason for the automotive industry’s move towards electrification. Theโข new Cayenne boasts a rapid charging capability, reaching 80% charge โคin just 16โ minutes via a 400kW charging station,โข and offers the convenience of wireless home charging, โthough the latter introduces further energy loss. Porsche aims โto balance performance andโ battery longevity through robust cooling, butโ this comes at the cost ofโ increasedโฃ auxiliary energy consumption, โขpotentially impactingโฃ the anticipated 85-90% energy efficiency typically associated with electric vehicles.
