Porsche is accelerating toward a greener future with the arrival of its first electric crossover — a battery-powered Macan that will pack a big battery and output.Software supplier-related issues have delayed the compact luxury crossover by about a year. Production of the electric Macan will begin at a plant in Leipzig, Germany, in early fall 2023, analysts say, with U.S. deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2024.
Porsche expects to build as many units of the electric Macan EV compact crossover as the combustion engine version. Like the Taycan electric fastback, the Macan will use 800-volt technology, which can recharge the crossover's battery from five per cent to 80 per cent in about 25 minutes.
