That's a good colour choice. If you post the Configuration code then all your options are detailed to other Owners - or just post some more pictures! The Porsche Colour configurator can't completely convey how the car will look. I first looked at other vehicles with the same colour and also the...

This thread has a number of valid, but not always resolved, issues: Test Charge fails by Op (Kristian) Octopus Test Charge not "passing" Octopus Test Charge is it required to “pass”? Octopus Test Charge how to “pass” PointPoint/Zappi problems with schedule with Macan EV Anderson not recognising...

As per the manual, the System Battery can be charged when plugged in: To trickle charge, connect the high-voltage battery to the mains supply.

I had a Tesla Model 3 Long Range (AWD) MY21 before getting a Macan 4S. The Model 3 has a sharper throttle response so you can get an almost neck snapping acceleration that the 4S doesn’t have. Whilst that is a good party trick, it doesn’t mean that the 4S is missing out, only that it is more...

The System Battery is like a VW 000 915 105 DG that is a 12V AGM Lead Acid battery rated at 68Ah 680A (380A DIN). These batteries are not designed to be deep cycled so the capacity available is much less than the quoted 68Ah. You may be pleasantly surprised and find that the car has moved to a...

The manual is also quite helpful about the High Voltage Battery (see below). Charging the car to an optimum initial charge level, so that it can be maintained unplugged for many months without an excessive discharge, would seem to also prevent issues - unless there is a fault.

The manual is quite helpful about the System Battery (see below). Keeping the car plugged in to charge the HV Battery and also the System Battery would seem to prevent issues - unless there is a fault. The reference to System Battery discharging is nothing new to ICE car owners, as there is a...

I wouldn't bet on this working. The System Battery is like a VW 000 915 105 DG that is a 12V AGM Lead Acid battery rated at 68AH 680A (380A DIN). I'm not sure Porsche would want you to charge it yourself, or worse still, start extracting power in an uncontrolled way from these exposed wires...

The problem with a safety recall is that an OTA update cannot be presumed to have been applied. NHTSA lists the recall for US cars and the only way Porsche can confirm the uptake is by having Dealer do the update.

At least in the UK, the Macan EV has a 12V AGM lead acid System Battery. The manual say the System Battery will discharge so trickle charging it with an external charger if leaving for a prolonged period. That’s what you already have to do with an ICE Porsche. Manual says you can’t leave the...

Nobody seems to have noticed that with a finite life of a battery, changing the Wheel Configuration, affects the efficiency but also the battery life.

In Connections you can choose between Phone and Radio or Carplay. You can't have Carplay and the others - try selecting them and the other options will be turned off. Sometimes when you want Carplay to be active it may not have started or the other options are selected so that a choice has to...

Scheduled Charging has several benefits. The most obvious is that it inhibits immediate charging providing the Schedule is activated (ON) and that Direct Charging (OFF) is not activated. It has a secondary benefit of allowing immediately charging to be controlled by a third party e.g., my...

The three saved positions, in this context of using Mirrors, relate to the saving/recall of the Mirror Settings which are Passenger Mirror (normal), Passenger Mirror (Alternative e.g., "dipped") and Driver Mirror (normal). This means that when reversing, the two Mirror Buttons can be used to...

The Manual does describes the setting of the Passenger Mirror when R (reverse) is selected. However, the Manual could have explicitly said that there are three saved positions that can be recalled. So that when reversing, you can switch between normal and dipped using the two buttons. A...

Also in 14.0 is a change to Direct Charging. Previously with a Scheduled Departure set, raising the level of charge required above the current value, would trigger charging to start immediately e.g., when preconditioning, so that range could be preserved by input from the Wall Charger. Now the...

Cost of buying will be higher from April for everyone because of increased VED - more so for ICE. Cost of a lease or contract hire includes the cost of VED over the agreement period e.g., over three years new registrations after April 1st will add £830 to the agreement for a Macan EV and...

I have been wanting to always be able to precondition my car from the My Porsche App and I understand that the App sends/receive information to a Porsche Service (Server) via a phone's mobile or wireless (internet) communication and communication is made between this Service (thru' Vodafone) and...

Ubitricity is 100% owned by Shell. They say ”ubitricity is one of the leading providers and operators of innovative public EV charging solutions” and “It is easier and more cost-effective for EV drivers to use long dwell times to charge at fast or lamppost charging points (AC)“. That also say...

In the UK, whilst it is true that the increase in the year one VED rate doubles for ICE cars from the 1st April 2025, there is a similar increase for all Porsche BEVs in years two to six because the premium (over £40,000) “stealth tax” e.g., £410/year for five years, also applies to all premium...
