PORSCHE MACAN ELECTRIC ROAD TRIP PART 1: COLORADO TO CONNECTICUT

EV Channels Review

This video documents the initial leg of a road trip from Colorado to Connecticut in a new Porsche Macan 4 Electric. The primary focus is testing the vehicle's DC fast charging capabilities and overall road trip viability, especially given initial concerns about charging issues. The reviewer confirms that the Macan 4 can indeed DC fast charge, achieving speeds up to 259 kW, which is significantly faster than a Tesla Model Y at similar states of charge, though not as fast as a Taycan at higher states. The reviewer praises the Macan's comfortable ride, sophisticated technology like air suspension, and the quality of its massaging seats. However, the route planning software is noted as somewhat frustrating, not always clearly indicating arrival state of charge at charging stops. The reviewer also highlights the car's thirstier energy consumption compared to a Model Y, attributing it partly to the larger battery, weight, and potentially the Nokian snow tires. Despite some minor gripes, the overall impression is highly positive, positioning the Macan as a comfortable and capable long-distance electric SUV, albeit at a premium price point.
