Still Waiting./Checking For Cayenne EV EPA Ratings

[Fun TC Driving]

My U.S. dealership told me that his first customer scheduled delivery of a Cayenne EV Turbo is July 24th. Since no OEM can deliver anything in the U.S. not already www.fueleconomy.gov rated, I keep checking that site daily. Just ten days away IF the dealership’s scheduled, and their customer and family already ready to be there that that day turns out to be its actual delivery.

Have bookmarked the EPA site and will keep checking daily — but great if someone here report its range numbers sooner.

Fueleconomy.gov takes a while to update, so the site you actually want to check for EPA certification is https://www.epa.gov/compliance-and-...cation-data-vehicles-engines-and-equipment#IC (note it takes a while to load because it is a PowerBI app).

For instance, the 2027 ICE Cayenne and Panameras are already certified but they are not reflected in fueleconomy.gov.

AFAIK, all customer cars are still being held at port pending approval.

I am also curious about range on the Turbo.

I had Claude build a detailed physics-based model fit to actual measured range that reflected the differences between WLTP range for the different wheels tires powertrains bodies etc. With limited data it’s a bit overfit but the same model on the Taycan nailed EPA ranges within a mile.

I would expect about 290 miles for the turbo; maybe a hair higher for the couple and likely a bit lower (285-ish?) for the SUV.

If they separately test a range config with 21s it will likely do 15-20 miles better.

You heard it hear first

+- 6-8 miles, I am modeling the Cayenne based on less data than the Taycan… and assuming typical Porsche conservatism, expect real world highway range at 70mph 5-10% higher than EPA consistent with Macan and Taycan.

Enough for my intended usage so I ordered one.

I would not be surprised if Trump's EPA acolytes have drug their feet on approval because EV and Germany.
