Porsche announced the first characteristics of the electric crossover Macan EV (10 photos)
Porsche spoke about testing prototypes of the electric Macan EV, accompanying the report with the publication of the first official characteristics. Test crossovers have already traveled more than 3.5 million km across the planet and, most likely, will do more, although the premiere of the electric car is just around the corner. Any modification of the electric crossover will be able to travel at least 500 km without recharging.
All modifications of the Porsche Macan EV will receive only one 100-kilowatt battery - Porsche considered this capacity optimal. It will be possible to recharge the battery from 10 to 80% in just 22 minutes, and it will take only 4 minutes to replenish the energy reserve for a run of 100 km.
Advanced aerodynamics will help increase the power reserve. The Macan EV will be equipped with a set of active elements, which, in combination with a sophisticated body, will provide a drag coefficient of 0.25. This is slightly worse than the Tesla Model Y, and significantly better than the gasoline Macan (0.35). According to Porsche representatives, the time spent in the wind tunnel increased the crossover's range by approximately 85 km.
The electric car's engines will develop more than 600 hp. s., and the amount of traction on top versions will reach 1000 Nm. The chassis will use steerable rear wheels capable of turning at an angle of up to 5 degrees, an active suspension with pneumatic elements and a thrust vector control system.
The exact premiere date of the Macan EV has not yet been announced, but the electric car is expected to debut in the first quarter of this year.
