No. Route planning including charging stops can be done using the native navigation system in the PCM, or the My Porsche app on your smartphone. You don't need to use the My Porsche app in CarPlay (which isn't available on the Macan EV).

You can do this using the My Porsche app on your phone, and then send the route to the car. The ability to do this in Apple Maps may come in the future but there isn't any official info available.

I am in total agreement that the car is excellent for road trips and that you arrive remarkably rested. I took a five day 3400 mile roadtrip in November of last year and drove nearly 900 miles on the last day — I would not have been able to do that in an ICE car. I think the quiet cabin and the...

While I have had a good experience with Plug & Charge at EA, it’s only slightly more convenient than just using contactless payment for charging. You don’t need to have proprietary apps or join their networks (though there may be better rates if you do). When a friend’s daughter got her first...

The Cayenne e-hybrid and Cayenne EV are built on completely different car platforms and I am certain that the latter is based on Android Automotive like the Macan EV. It is unlikely that the My Porsche CarPlay app is supported.

Yes, CarPlay is supported, but the My Porsche CarPlay app only supports the Taycan, not the Macan EV and probably not the Cayenne EV. If seeing the icon for it in the PCM, you can customize CarPlay on your phone and keep the My Porsche CarPlay app from displaying.

Access to the Porsche Charging Service is free. Charging is not.

I’m also still in a rental car after getting hit on February 7th. Both driver side doors have been replaced but there are still two trim pieces missing, and the rear RS Spyder still needs to be replaced. The replacement sent from Germany arrived damaged — twice. I had an opportunity to see my...

For a 992 a Li makes sense because it doesn’t have another source of electricity that can handle a surge demand — the alternator isn’t able to do this. But the Macan EV has the traction battery that will always be available while the car is driving.

If you can hear the solenoid moving but the frunk is not opening then the safety lock is probably not retracting (see step #10).

Performing emergency release of the front hood If the starter battery is discharged, the front hood can only be released with the help of an external battery with 12 V nominal voltage. See chapter “On-board battery“ Fig. 1 Performing emergency release of the front hood Battery with 12 V...

My experience with Electrify America while roadtripping has been excellent. I drove 3400 miles roundtrip from Los Angeles to Nebraska and back and used EA exclusively because it was free for me at the time. I only had to wait at one charging station in Grand Junction, Colorado where all four...

The My Porsche CarPlay app is only supported by the Taycan.

Sorry if I wasn't clear -- the seat heating worked at least for the driver seat provided it is selected in the app. I haven’t tried the passenger seat heating because it’s typically empty.

It works for me, both cabin heating and cooling. I don’t know how the passenger seat behaves because I typically drive by myself. Have you had any updates done on the car, such as the WSJ0 / V28.13 campaign?
