[Data] - 285 miles range on single charge in 2024 Macan Turbo EV - OMG I'm happy

• google maps route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vrU1riht7n3QS9wz6
• starting charge % - 100%
• starting time - ~ 6:00 am PST
• Temps
  • morning (6 am to 9 am) - 48F - 55F along route
  • afternoon (11:30 am to 4:45 pm) - 62F - 72F along route
• Tire pressures - not checked - standard factory pressures
• 20" tires (factory standard/default $0 option)
• Total distance driven: 284.7 miles
• Battery SOC left @ end of trip - 10% (27 miles indicated on dash)
• consumption 3.4 miles/kWh
• HVAC - ECOmode fro 265 miles of the trip
• EA charger in Aptos, CA - 150 kW chargers - plug&charged worked first time!
• charging session - 10% to 85% in 30 minutes - $0.00 cost
• 80% battery SOC reached at 26 minutes (5 min slower than Porsche rates @ 350 kW stations)
  • given the charging taper curve - 270 kW charging is only beneficial for the initial battery SOC - and the net difference to 80% from 10% is 5 minutes - documented as part of this trip
  • Macan Turbo EV will "flatline" @ 175 kW charge rate until ~52% SOC - only after 52% SOC does it dip below 175 kW - that is monster charging performance!!!
• Freeway speeds - typical SF Bay Area Traffic - sometimes faster than posted limits, sometimes slower - no particular speed management for range
• Hwys involved: Hwy 1, Hwy 17, Hwy 880, Hwy 680, Hwy 80
• Tires: All seasons - Factory tires Pirelli Scorpians
• Initial trip from Aptos, CA to UC Davis - Porsche nav estimated arrival @44% SOC - as the trip progressed I eventually achieved a 58% estimate - I arrived and parked @ 60% SOC
• Trip home - initial Porsche estimate indicated arrival @ 4% SOC - as trip progressed estimate improved to 9% SOC at arrival - I arrived at EA charging station at 10% SOC
• Pre-conditioning was used and the car "knew" it was going to fast charging station.
• Traffic was less congested than normal - I would estimate less than 15-20% of the trip was "below" posted limits - but I didn't measure precisely - my "feel" is that the Bay Area was less congested than I expected and flowed "better" than normal on this particular day
• Weather was mild, sunny, partly cloudy - one of the days that makes you want to live in California.

Thanks for taking the time to document this. Your insight is always so helpful. I have not had the opportunity for warmer weather and this is great to see. My 4S is still under 1200 miles but I can see it is starting to improve a bit each day.

Impressive!!
You riding on 20's or 21's?

I live in SoFlo...it's flat and no concern re temp.
Can't wait to rest my range.

20" tires - I'll update the facts…thanks for the catch!

All good...
I totally snagged the 22's for show...but I am damn sure tempted to buy a set of 20's.
I can't do 60 mph so i know 340 miles + will never be a reality for me.

I would totally be happy with 270-300 miles per charge (road trip).
I am curious to see how many miles I can get driving around town.

On a slightly different note, I will say initial reaction is 22s are a bit “too” firm for me personally. No regrets (yet) because they look fantastic but actually dying to throw the 20s to see the difference comfort wise.

Have you tried lowering the tire pressure a little?

I’m also on 22” wheels with slightly higher than recommended pressure and think the ride is actually pretty comfortable in Normal mode. I will eventually lower the pressure from how the dealer delivered the car, but the ride isn’t so firm that I’m in a hurry to make adjustments.

What psi are you using currently?

Well Team - recently I had to drive from Aptos, CA to UC Davis and back to Aptos, CA - round trip according to navigation is ~284 miles - charging around the route is good - so I was never in any risk - but I thought I would see if I could do it in a single charge…so I charged the night before to 100% at home - and set out in the morning for my errand to UC Davis…

trip included a detour to In/Out Burger in Vacaville, CA (Nut Tree mall location) - so strictly speaking with out the lunch detour the car would've gotten home with slight more battery left over…

based on my data - the Macan Turbo driven as I drove it this day in Normal Mode at 100% battery is a 313 mile EV on all season tires…

Car did great - and the range was impressive in my opinion.

below are screen shots to document the range/consumption:

East Coast folks - once temps return to normal spring/summer - you'll be very very happy with your range

I plan to try the experiment again and not use HVAC ECO mode!!! and document the differences.

based on this trip - I'm super impressed with the Macan Turbo - and in normal metro freeway conditions 100% charge car should be an easy 270 mile vehicle and 300-320 miles if driven properly - if speeds were below 60 mph - I would estimate 340-350 miles would be possible.

there is nothing but good news in this posting, and all the data is from actual driving - no theories here!!

arrival at the charging station…

175 kW charge rate @ 150 kW charger - common for EA in North America…the Macan can "hold" a 175 kW charge rate until about 52% SOC (see photo)

the 175 kW "fever" breakes- it dipped to 174 kW (it does this a lot but bounces back to 175) - but in this case this was the beginning of the end of the 175 kW charge rate for this charging session…by 58% SOC we're doing 171/170 kW and trending downward…

80% SOC achieved @ 26 minutes vs. Porsche's published benchmark of 21 minutes for a 350 kW (270 kW) charge rate - 5 min is the "advantage" of a 270 kW charge rate vs. 150 kW charge rate…

85% at 30 minutes - and we unplug…
