Power and Performance: Electrifying the Road
Don’t let the “entry-level” label fool you. The Macan EV RWD packs a punch with its 100 kWh battery pack, delivering an impressive claimed range of 641 kilometers on a single charge. For those who demand quick charging, the Macan EV RWD supports DC fast charging up to 270 kW, allowing you to replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in a mere 21 minutes.
Under the hood, or rather, under the sleek body, lies a single electric motor that generates a respectable 355 horsepower and 563 Nm of torque. This translates to a thrilling 0-100 km/hr acceleration in just 5.7 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/hr. While this may not be Porsche’s fastest EV, it certainly delivers a dynamic and engaging driving experience that lives up to the brand’s legacy.

Beyond the Base: More Macan EV Options
While the RWD variant is a significant addition, Porsche doesn’t stop there. For those seeking even more power and performance, the Macan EV lineup also includes the 4S and Turbo variants. These models feature dual motors for enhanced acceleration and torque, with the 4S boasting 516 horsepower and a 0-100 km/hr time of 4.1 seconds.
Off-Road Ready and Stylish
Porsche understands that adventure knows no bounds. To cater to the adventurous spirit, the Macan EV now offers an optional off-road design pack. This pack enhances the approach angle and increases ground clearance by 10 mm, making it more capable on rough terrain. Additionally, a new Slate Grey Neo color option adds a touch of sophistication to the Macan EV’s exterior.
