Porsche’s Formula E Program Is the Real Source of the 2026 Cayenne Electric’s 600 kW Regen
The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric can handle 97 percent of normal braking without touching its mechanical brakes. That’s not a marketing claim.

Ford’s PHEV Bet Hits a Wall: Fraunhofer Study Proves Plug-In Hybrids Burn 3x More Fuel Than Claimed
After spending a decade covering the EV market, one stat in a new 61-page Fraunhofer Institute study stopped me cold: the average Porsche PHEV driver charged their battery to less than 50% capacity exactly once over two years.

Two months after demanding Brussels weaken the 2035 combustion engine ban, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government is now pledging billions in taxpayer money to boost EV sales. The contradiction reveals Germany’s auto industry isn’t facing a policy problem. It’s facing a competitiveness crisis that no subsidy can fix. The Fact: Germany will offer families with small…
