Porsche Again Tests EV Tigers, Claimed To Be Able To Beat All Extreme Conditions

JAKARTA - Porsche is preparing the EV Tigers, one vehicle that is included in the ranks of its environmentally friendly mobility. This car will be equipped with several advantages that certainly do not exist in the previous model.

The model, which will be the second generation of this series, carries the advanced Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture. The manufacturer ensures that the testing of this model is prepared very carefully by prioritizing several aspects.

Imagine, the EV Tigers are tested through simulations in cyberspace as well as wind tunnels that can play a role in more optimal development. Thus, the manufacturer continues to prioritize the efficient side without eliminating the element of sporty.

"When we develop a new model, the most important thing is the dynamics and precision of driving. This is Porsche. But it's also always about efficiency and design," said Jorg Kerner, Vice President of Product Line Macan, on the company's website, Thursday, January 11.

In addition, elements such as variables at the bottom of the vehicle are equally important. The floor of the vehicle is flat and closed, such as racing cars to the rear guard area. The fairing is flexible and also ensures low air drag when bouncing. This is an innovative solution combined with wheels that are mostly covered and streamlined as well as aerodynamically optimized tire contours.

Carrying the architecture of PPE with a magnitude of 800V, this can be compatible with lithium-ion batteries embedded at the bottom of the 100 kWh-capacity vehicle, with 95 kWh of which will be used actively.

Thus, the SUV is very suitable for charging with DC fast-charging reaching 270 kW. This car can charge 10-80 percent in 22 minutes in a 400V charging station. Meanwhile, the Tigers also fit the AC charger with 11 kW.

During his test, the EV Tigers have been tested on various road conditions, one of which is extreme terrain. Porsche claims to have tested this car from minus 30 degrees Celsius in Scandinavia to the heat of Death Valley in California, USA.

"Of course, an SUV should also be able to work on any surface. That's why we test not only on the highway, but also off-road, over gravel, snow, and ice," Kerner added.

To offer comfort, this model will also be added to the Porsche Active Suspension Management system with two valve damping technology, air suspension, rear-axle transverse lock, and other features.

The SUV will be driven by electric motors embedded in the front and rear doubles, resulting in a peak power of 450 kW with a maximum torque of more than 1,000 Nm with the Porsche Track Management system.
