Just how many miles should you expect to cover? If those smooth yet rugged looks and that gorgeously appointed interior are formidable weapons in the war for EV approval, the impressive headline figures take a massive leap for viability. Though 600hp and 310 miles of range sound very “today”, 15 minutes to nearly 250 miles-worth of charge is as “tomorrow” as we can hope for without sounding like a number plucked out of thin air. That’s getting on for a third of the time it takes for a Tesla Model S to get to 80% charge when hooked up to a supercharger. The Mission E Cross Turismo uses an 800-volt architecture with inductive charging capability built in – fast charge network capability is a given.
It’s no secret Porsche have been charging on with the Mission E all-electric program and the Cross Turismo serves as both a progress update and a hint at a possible iteration to follow once the production car hits showrooms. How close are we to that? Given that “The road-ready Mission E Cross Turismo... uses elements that are close to production”, we’d say they’re not too far off. Odds on Geneva this time next year…
