    Plug & Charge Issues

    "Factory reset" is not referring to restarting the PCM (long press and hold for 30 seconds on the volume dial). "Factory reset" is performed as follows: I also had to do it on my Macan Turbo earlier this week, and it then solved my P&C issue.

    VOLCANO GREY Macan EV Photos Thread

    Volcano looks great too, especially with the Turbonite trim. This is my car that I collected 24 hours ago...

    Question on regen …

    Definitely it's more efficient to coast than regen because the energy needed to get back up to speed is more than you gain from regen. If you knew a way to counter this then you would have invented the perfectly efficient machine, which defies the laws of physics. This is the same for any car...

    Instrument Cluster Query | Battery / Loading information

    The bracket shows the optimum temperature for charging. If the end of the bar falls within the bracket, you should get the fastest charging. You can see that the bar is at the bottom end of the bracket, so it's just about there.

    Plug & Charge UK - not many places to use yet…

    Maybe I'm lucky with my routes on my journeys to the UK, but I've used P&C quite a lot in the UK. In the last year alone I've used: Folkestone (M20) Maidstone (M20) (two different sites) Cobham Services (M25) Milton Keynes (M1) Baldock Services (A1) Cambridge Services (A14) Peterborough...

    Did the remaining range change?

    Plug & Charge UK - not many places to use yet…

    What's not useful? The card and the key? It's a bit more complicated due to the two version of the Porsche Charging Service in existance now, but you still get a discount at chargers other than Ionity and Porsche. It's just not as big. You're a customer of Porsche Charging Service (PCS), and...

    Anyone got a delivery of a UK Macan?

    Welcome to the forum, Tee82. I suspect you're going to find out the maximum capacity of your inbox very soon.

    Plug & Charge UK - not many places to use yet…

    I assume it's a gift from the dealer rather than Porsche policy. I am in the Netherlands, also, so I wouldn't expect things to necessarily be the same in the UK.

    Plug & Charge UK - not many places to use yet…

    I had a Porsche card with my Taycan (I sold the Taycan yesterday), but a few months ago I bought a RFID key fob anyway because it's a cool gadget and it fits in my trouser pocket better than the card. It took all of five seconds to add to my PCS account. I spoke to my dealer yesterday and he...

    Plug & Charge UK - not many places to use yet…

    I have the RFID key fob too, and it's probably the best way of starting a charge. If you start the charge with your credit card then you get pay PAYG rates as opposed to the much cheaper Porsche Charging Service rates, so not only more convenient with the key fob, but much cheaper too (at...

    Extreme Electric Baptism: 1052km in 2 Days with the Macan EV Turbo

    It's just a rough figure, but if you achieve 2.9 miles/kWh, and your battery has a useable capacity of 95 kWh, then you multiply 2.9 x 95, which equals 275.5 miles of range. It's a little more complicated than that, but it's a good estimate.

    Extreme Electric Baptism: 1052km in 2 Days with the Macan EV Turbo

    So that's 21.4 kWh/100km. I'd take that all day long in winter. For comparison, I drove 1,600km from Holland to Leeds and back over Christmas in my Taycan GTS ST, and my average was 29.8 kWh/100km, which is 2.1 miles/kWh.

    Is Porsche Macan RWD Base a good option?

    I don't agree at all. People buy SUVs for reasons which have nothing to do with traction, such as ease of ingress and egress, the commanding view of the road, and looks. I don't see why an SUV should have AWD any more than a regular saloon or hatchback. @Awaz The RWD is a great choice for those...

    Thoughts on my Macan EV Turbo (after 5 years in Teslas) - owner review

    Great write up, @Yorksjar. Thanks for posting. I'll be picking up my new Macan Turbo in Volcano Grey and 22" RS rims in one week today. Can't wait.

    Extreme Electric Baptism: 1052km in 2 Days with the Macan EV Turbo

    2.7 miles/kWh is 23.0 kWh/100km, which is pretty good! That's a useable range of 256.5 miles, or 412.8 km.

    Macan Turbo UK vs Tesla supercharger stations - can I use them?

    In terms of the connector, they're CCS, so in theory you can use Tesla Superchargers. However, in the UK not all Tesla locations are "open to all", that is, "open to non-Teslas" (in some countries, such as Holland, all Tesla sites are open to all). If you download the Tesla app and you don't...

    Cold weather is bad for consumption, but water is *particularly* bad for consumption, as it is for ICEs too.
