Adding to the 911 EV speculation, this platform’s rear motor, as Porsche says, “is positioned particularly far back, resulting in a slightly rear-focused weight balance with the ratio of 48% to 52%.” It’s hard to say whether this rear-weight bias is an homage to the 911 or just a mere coincidence. Powering this new platform are permanently excited synchronous electric motors.
The AWD variants can also bias power to the rear with what Porsche calls the Performance rear axle, which contributes to the weight distribution noted above and helps handle a fully variable torque distribution. While that’s good news in general—and should make the Macan EV interesting on a track—this fully variable torque management points further at the possibility of another high-performance sedan or coupe coming down the pipeline.Powering all of this is a roughly 100-kWh battery.
. Working with the 800-volt system, Porsche says you can expect 80% of a charge from 5% in 25 minutes. Of course, that’s more of a theoretical rate and depends on howStill, it’s hard to say what the PPE will underpin until it starts to officially roll out into the Porsche lineup, starting first with the Macan EV. Porsche has yet to officially say when we can expect a Macan EV, but it shouldn’t be a shock to see one show up for the 2024 model year.
I can't wait for the Macan!
