It was more than two years ago when Porsche announced plans to develop the next-generation Macan strictly as an electric vehicle. We haven’t heard much about the EV crossover since then, but thankfully, the Zuffenhausen brand recently shared more details during a roundtable interview with journalists. The most important news to come out from the discussions is about range.<\/p>\n
Porsche says the Macan EV will offer a “significantly” longer range compared to the Taycan sedan<\/a>, which currently offers 227 miles between charges based on EPA testing for the 4S version. According to Motor Trend’s<\/em> estimations, the electric crossover will be able to travel for about 250 miles before running out of battery juice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Considering both the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E<\/a> offer some versions that exceed 300 miles of range, we’re certain Porsche wants to remain highly competitive and is targeting a generous range for its Macan EV. The new model will ride on the same PPE platform as the Audi Q6 E-Tron<\/a>, which should have largely the same technical specifications.<\/p>\n Porsche executive board member Michael Steiner told Motor Trend<\/em> the US-spec Taycan EV is likely going to be offered with one battery option for a longer range whereas the European model will also get a smaller pack for a cheaper entry-level trim. Unconfirmed for now, but there’s a good chance the engineers are developing the new crossover with single- and dual-motor versions for two- and all-wheel-drive configurations, respectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Much like the Taycan, the new Macan sans combustion engine will feature an 800-volt electrical architecture, meaning owners will be able to charge the crossover at up to 270 kilowatts. Steiner also said the EV model will look significantly different than the gasoline-fueled version, which will be sold alongside its eco-friendly counterpart.<\/p>\n The electric Macan is scheduled to arrive in North America sometime in 2023 as a 2024MY, although we might see it in Europe sooner. Meanwhile, the updated gas-fueled crossover is programmed to debut before the end of 2021.<\/p>\n
