If you’re looking at the 2024 Porsche Macan Electric, range is probably at the top of your checklist. Porsche quotes big numbers for the new all‑electric Macan, but independent testing tells a more nuanced, and in at least one case, even more impressive, story. This guide breaks down every major 2024 Porsche Macan Electric range test, from official EPA and WLTP ratings to Edmunds’ 352‑mile result, and translates those numbers into what you can actually expect day to day.
Why this range test matters
Macan Electric range at a glance
Key 2024 Porsche Macan Electric range numbers
On paper, the 2024 Macan 4 Electric is rated at 308 miles of EPA range in the U.S. Independent testing from Edmunds pushed a Macan 4 to about 352 miles before stopping, beating its EPA number by more than 40 miles. European WLTP figures are even higher, thanks to a more optimistic test cycle, but they’re less useful if you’re planning trips in North America.

Official range figures: EPA vs WLTP
Porsche sells several 2024 Macan Electric variants globally, but as of early 2025 the U.S. EPA has published range estimates for the dual‑motor Macan 4 Electric and Macan Turbo Electric, with more trims coming. Europe uses the WLTP cycle, which traditionally posts higher range numbers than EPA testing.

Inside Edmunds’ 2024 Macan Electric range test
To move beyond lab numbers, Edmunds ran a 2024 Porsche Macan 4 Electric through its standardized EV Range Test in October 2024. Their car was a dual‑motor Macan 4 with the EPA‑rated 308‑mile range, essentially the volume Macan EV most U.S. buyers will see first.
- Ambient temperature around 69°F, near ideal for EV efficiency.
- Drive mode set to Normal; climate control at 72°F on the driver’s side only.
- Extra regenerative braking enabled.
- Target average speed of about 40 mph, with 60% city and 40% highway driving.
- Vehicle started at 100% state of charge and was driven until 10 miles of indicated range remained.
Under those controlled but realistic conditions, Edmunds logged roughly 342 miles actually driven plus 10 miles remaining on the display, for an effective range of about 352 miles. Energy consumption worked out to roughly 29 kWh per 100 miles, noticeably better than the EPA’s 34‑kWh‑per‑100‑miles estimate for this model.
Beating EPA by 14%
Real-world range: what you can actually expect
Of course, you probably won’t reproduce Edmunds’ exact loop. Range will swing based on speed, temperature, elevation, tire choice, and how aggressively you drive. But their result gives us a starting point for reasonable expectations in the U.S. for a Macan 4 Electric with a healthy battery.
Macan 4 Electric: ballpark real‑world range scenarios
Estimated from EPA, WLTP and Edmunds data under different driving patterns.
Urban / mixed commuting
Likely range: ~310–340 miles
- Lots of stop‑and‑go lets regen braking work in your favor.
- Speeds closer to 30–50 mph are efficiency sweet spots.
- Edmunds’ 60% city mix landed in this territory.
Typical highway road trip
Likely range: ~260–300 miles
- Sustained 70–75 mph will pull you closer to EPA numbers.
- Headwinds, big wheels and roof boxes can trim another 5–10%.
- Plan charging stops around 15–20% remaining, not 0%.
Cold‑weather freeway driving
Likely range: ~220–260 miles
- Winter temps cut efficiency and increase cabin heating loads.
- Short trips with a cold battery are especially punishing.
- Preconditioning while plugged in helps preserve range.
Think in “usable” miles, not theoretical maximums
Battery pack, charging speed and efficiency
Underneath every 2024 Macan Electric is a large, flat battery pack roughly 100 kWh gross and about 96 kWh usable. Porsche pairs that with an 800‑volt electrical architecture similar to the updated Taycan, capable of DC fast‑charging at up to 270 kW under ideal conditions on a compatible CCS station.
Macan Electric battery & charging highlights that affect range
1. Big usable battery
Around 96 kWh of usable capacity gives the Macan a lot of energy to work with, which is why it can post 300‑plus‑mile ratings even as a heavy, all‑wheel‑drive SUV.
2. 800‑volt architecture
Higher voltage allows the Macan Electric to accept high charging power, up to about 270 kW, without the same heat build‑up you see on many 400‑volt competitors.
3. Strong mid‑session charging speeds
Like the Taycan, the Macan is designed to hold higher charging speeds deeper into the charge curve. That helps shrink stop times on road trips even if you don’t see the peak number for long.
4. Efficient dual‑motor setup
Porsche’s latest permanent‑magnet motors, power electronics and integrated ‘Power Box’ (on‑board charger, DC/DC and heater) are tuned to minimize losses, which shows up as strong range per kWh.
5. Regenerative braking tuning
Regen isn’t as aggressive as some one‑pedal EVs, but it recovers a meaningful amount of energy in stop‑and‑go driving and helps the Macan shine in mixed city use.
6. Wheel and tire choices
Big 21–22 inch wheels and performance tires look great but cost efficiency. If range is your priority, the smallest available wheel with an aero‑optimized tire will help.
Fast charging and repeated 100% charges
How driving style and conditions impact your Macan EV range
Speed & aerodynamics
Above about 60 mph, aerodynamic drag rises quickly. Push a Macan Electric at 75–80 mph for hours and you’ll see consumption spike well past what Edmunds recorded on their mostly 40‑mph loop.
- Driving 5–10 mph slower can add dozens of miles of range.
- Roof racks, cargo boxes or bikes increase drag and can trim range 5–15%.
Climate, elevation & load
EVs are particularly sensitive to temperature, elevation changes and weight.
- Cold weather: More energy goes to heating the cabin and warming the battery.
- Mountain driving: Climbing burns range quickly; descending with regen recoups some, but not all, of it.
- Passengers & cargo: Four people and luggage mean more weight to move, nudging consumption higher.

Range is only half the road‑trip story
Range shopping tips if you’re considering a Macan EV (used or new)
Whether you’re eyeing a new allocation at a Porsche dealer or thinking ahead to when early Macan Electrics start showing up on the used market, it pays to shop with range in mind. The good news: Porsche’s large battery, conservative EPA ratings and strong efficiency should help the Macan age well, especially if previous owners charged and stored the car thoughtfully.
Checklist: getting the range you need from a Macan Electric
1. Match the trim to your driving pattern
If you live on the highway or in colder climates, the slightly longer‑legged base Macan Electric or Macan 4 may be a better fit than the more powerful Turbo, which trades a bit of range for performance.
2. Consider wheels and tires carefully
Those 22‑inch wheels look phenomenal, but if you want maximum range, prioritize smaller wheels with efficient tire packages. Ask the seller which size is fitted and what that does to EPA or WLTP numbers.
3. Look at lifetime efficiency data
On a used Macan, scroll through the trip computer’s long‑term consumption. A car that has averaged very high kWh/100 miles may have led a hard, fast‑driven life, which can hint at more battery stress.
4. Get a battery health report
On any used EV, Macan included, a third‑party battery health report gives you a snapshot of remaining capacity. With Recharged, every vehicle comes with a <strong>Recharged Score battery report</strong> so you’re not guessing about real‑world range potential.
5. Ask about charging habits
Frequent DC fast‑charging to 100% or constant sitting at 100% state‑of‑charge is tougher on packs. Occasional road‑trip abuse isn’t a red flag; everyday use like that can be.
6. Test‑drive your typical route
If possible, take an extended test drive on roads and speeds that mirror your commute or weekend trips. Watch the projected range and consumption numbers to see how the Macan behaves in your real world.
