Your Definitive Guide to the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric Car Lease

The new Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric Car Lease-Your Definitive Guide 

This just in … a Telegraph article in the electric car news remit is suggesting that EV drivers, like the ones in the new electric Cayenne Coupe, could be ready to commit fraud if new measures are rolled out by the Government.

The so called “3p-per-mile EV tax” is still a loitering proposition, which the political powers have been slowly working and consulting on, as we move towards its intended release date in April 2028. As you can read in this Government Ministerial overview  there are concerns that the tax duty which petrol and diesel motorists pay at the pumps will be effectively ignored by the drivers of electric cars and vans.

The estimates are that by 2030, 20% of the motorists on the road will not be paying a fuel duty whatsoever, whereas combustion drivers will be contributing just under £500 per year. The suggestion from the Government is that this “is not a fair outcome”. Personal opinions aside, we do have to manage and understand this difficult submission in that taxation and contributions need to be fairly applied, especially at 2026 where it is fundamentally cheaper for most UK drivers in an EV compared to a petrol or diesel option.

As the consultation suggests, the eVED will look to start in April 2028 but there will be no trackers, monitoring or overview by the Government. What there will be is the additional eVED charge, in addition to the usual VED which drivers already pay.

Relying on evidence from countries like Iceland and New Zealand, which utilise similar schemes for pay per drive taxation on EV and PHEV vehicles, the Government believe this is a scheme which can work. Although there is not yet a clear answer on a solution which effectively balances “complexity, privacy and feasibility”.

In their report, The Telegraph discusses the prospect of electric cars being tampered with to reduce or avoid the intended taxation. Utilising reports and findings from CarVertical, there is a submission that electric cars are not immune from adjustment and that fraudsters may look to manipulation to help manage the changes.

Going further, the article also intimates that vehicle depreciation and battery health concerns in EVs could also encourage even more UK customers to alter their mileages illegally. While odometer-tampering is present in all types of vehicles, there are thoughts that EVs are experiencing the highest volume of vehicle tampering. While much of the UK’s EV fleet is down to company car and salary sacrifice schemes, the growing volume of retail and consumers joining the transition could increase this risk. 

But is eVED really the main motivator for EV fraud?

When you consider the intentions of the VED+ are to add incremental charges to EVs for creating a fairer tax system, there is some doubt that this will lead to drivers taking such rigorous measures. When you consider that the average driver covering 8,000 to 10,000 miles per annum will only pay around £240 to £300 annually, this is not the meaningful shift that some news and media outlets are suggesting.

Given that fraudsters offering the odometer alterations will be charging for their service, the cost of the crime may be more than the saving itself! The article may be a tad sensational in this regard.

Introducing the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric Car Lease

However, brands like Porsche, are not dismayed by political movements in the UK as they continue to push their luxury EV offering. In April 2026, the group confirmed that the Cayenne SUV would be joined by an all-electric Coupe alternative too.

Considering there were reports on Porsche aligning their product choice and electric ambitions, the continued growth in product choice is very much at odds with this. Their new Cayenne Coupé Electric is available on the  Porsche manufacturer website to build and order for delivery later this year.

The Coupe will feature the standard model, the S and the Turbo as set out below:

•  Cayenne Coupe Electric – from £86,200 this will include 20” alloys, 8-way electric seats, front seats heated, black high gloss trims, fixed panoramic roof, power steering plus, sport chrono package, matrix LED lights, thermally insulated glass, heated steering wheel, extended ambient lighting, navigation, lane change assist, park assist with 2D view, automatic parking, traffic sign recogniiton, swerve and turn assist, powered tailgate, climate control, driver memory package, soft close doors, sound package plus, Porsche digital key, 10-year Porsche digital connect, Wireless Charging (for the car) and TPM Valve in black;  

•  Cayenne S Coupe Electric – from £103,100 this will include E-Performance powertrain with magnet synchronous motor, sports seats, 20” S alloys, adaptive air suspension and red brake callipers; and 
•  Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric – from £133,300 this will include 21” Turbo alloys, HD-Matrix LED lights, 18-way electric adaptive sports seats, BOSE surround sound, rear diffusor in Louvered design, GT steering wheel, heated rear seats, carbon interior package and Turbo floor mats. 

In true Porsche style, this is a car suitable for everyday use but coupled with that ability to make the journey a special one. Key aspects like the Digital Key means that up to 7 people can have shared access to the vehicle for access and control. The surface heating offers a thermal heating for passenger and is a better, and more efficient, energy solution for keeping the vehicle warm.

With up to 3500kg of towing capacity along with 534 litres of boot space, the Coupe is a practical family EV too. The optional Electric Sport Sound brings the Porsche emotion back into the vehicle.
