Macan4 battery consumption and charging

[Barry41561]

Really looking forward to being able to provide my own reviews after I take delivery this Thursday the 26th! Too bad there aren’t any after Christmas sales on Porsches.

Lol - if you need some help, just ask....

So - curious - which tires did you spec?

20” Macan S wheels. I believe the SA mentioned that my 4S has the 20” Pirelli Scorpion MS all-season tires.

I am new to the Porsche family and got my Macan 4 this week. Very excited.

Last night I set the target charge to 80% and after reaching the target, the myporsche app it’s showing 248 miles.

With the single 80% target charge, is it possible to get 300+ miles. Are there any recommendations?

I’ve had my Macan 4 for a month now. The dealership told me to set the charging at 100%. After charging my battery last time, I got 405 miles. I love this car.

Can't wait to get my 4S....

What has your lifetime efficiency been?

Thanks!

As much as I would like to answer your question, I have no idea how to find that.

Just to let you know; letting the car sit at 100% (as opposed to say, 80%), especially in a warm climate , is generally considered to not be good for the battery. The conventional wisdom is to only charge to 100% when you need it. 405 miles is amazing.

Thank you for letting me know I will reset my charger to 80%.

I think 100% is perfectly okay, if you are on a long trip, as you are going to deplete the charge straight away on your drive. But charging 80% is desirable at all other times.

There might be a miscommunication of what the dealer said. He wouldn't have meant to say to charge 100% every time.

Edit: 405 miles is amazing. How was the weather in FL?

i've only had my 4S for a couple days now...but my mi/KwH is went from 2.4 to 3.5. and it's cold here
i would really like to run some test or some kind of loop to test with regen on vs off...

i kinda think the mileage might be better with the regen off actually! this car fuckin glides forever!

I agree. And I like that gliding. Regen is off.

My first real road trip report. In my 4S yesterday I drove down to San Diego from OC...about 80 miles mostly freeway and then did some local driving and then back to OC. Attached is the data for this trip. I did not take any care in how I drove.... I was in Sport mode and mostly at 75mph on the freeway. Stated with a 90% charge. Looks like I will use 200 to 250 for my road trip range?
