Porsche Macan EV - Performance
Porsche’s new electric Macan has been developed similar to the Audi Q6 E-tron as it borrows the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, chassis components, batteries and power electronics from the Audi model. The upcoming electric Cayenne will also be built on the same PPE architecture. The Porsche Macan EV is equipped with dual permanent synchronous motors and a single-speed gearbox on each axle which enables the EV to deliver a power output of 639 bhp and 1,130 Nm of torque. The turbo variant boasts an acceleration time from 0-100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 260 kmph. The Macan's 95kWh battery supports fast charging at up to 270kW on an 800V DC system, allowing a 10-80 percent charge in just 21 minutes. The official WLTP ranges are estimated at 613 km for the Macan 4 and 591 km for the Macan Turbo.
