    Porsche Macan EV Highway Range Test | Behind the Wheels of Porsche’s First Electric SUV

    I wonder what mean without options this time? Asking money for rear camera, keyless entry, heated seats or ambient lighting in 2024 is a shame. If that's the case the starting price for the Macan EV is 100k.

    Spotted Macan EV in the wild!

    Thanks for the article, it makes a lot of sense because Rimac developed their motors not outsourced a weaker motor from a supplier. In 2020 Porsche also needed to beat the Model S 0-60 but because Taycan was heavier they had to use a shorter 1st gear to extract more torque. If the battery or...

    Spotted Macan EV in the wild!

    Now Porsche should explain to us why they went for 1 speed gearbox and ditched the 2 speed. The development was finished 2-3 years ago probably so not too far from the Taycan's development.

    Spotted Macan EV in the wild!

    I don't mind the split headlights but the lower lights are big, on the Purosangue those are slimmer and somehow hidden. Looks like its the same headlight from the I7. I don't like the front bumper, too boring, maybe the GTS/Turbo version will look more interesting.

    2024 Macan EV interior revealed + more specs! 600hp / 737 lb-ft, 300+ Miles Range

    Who is going to support the PCM6 in Taycan? Cariad seems working on Android automotive OS now. I hope Porsche won't forget their first EV. Put the 100kwh battery in the Taycan and you get the same range or maybe more at high speed. I can't find any innovation in the Macan EV still heavy and...

    2024 Macan EV interior revealed + more specs! 600hp / 737 lb-ft, 300+ Miles Range

    I don't understand why it took 5 years for Porsche to develop the Macan EV with very similar Taycan tech. Maybe I'm wrong I don't see what's new in the PPE platform aside of bigger battery.

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    Now they have Rimac on their side to share technology but before they weren't. I assume Porsche did a back 2 back test with or without gearbox in the Taycan development but there was something weak in their 1-speed drivetrain than made them take the more complicated route.

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    I think Porsche's goal with 2-speed gearbox was to beat the Model S speed and acceleration with off-the-shelf motors/inverters. Turbo S is a very fast car for almost anyone but now they have to make a 3-motor version again to beat the Plaid because Tesla moves too fast. The new motors are...

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    I think the gearbox in the Taycan improves efficiency on autobahn, I mean over 90mph and I wonder if the highway range of Macan EV is better.

    "Volkswagen’s troubled software division is getting new leadership. Again." -Article

    Why not outsource the software to a big company like Mercedes did? Porsche must focus on drive-train tech not software.

    Despite 'ugly' designs, BMW sales are going up and they took over MB.
