From Transport Evolved.

Welcome to this week’s episode of TEN — Transport Evolved News!

On today’s show: the Porsche Cayenne EV becomes the most powerful electric Porsche to date with more than 1,000 horsepower at the wheels; Jeep confirms the trail-ready Recon EV is headed to the U.S. and Canada next year; and Ford joins Hyundai on Amazon’s Auto service — meaning you can now shop for new or used Ford EVs directly on Amazon.
