The Porsche Macan EV isn't available yet, but you can buy a speedboat powered by its battery tech...
will be a huge launch for Porsche; one of its best selling models, if not still the best seller after all these years, will be going all electric after a decade on sale with not so much as a mild-hybrid to ease into electrification. There will be no PHEV bridge - the ICE band aid is being ripped straight off. Still, given what Porsche has proved itself capable of already with the Taycan, there’s every reason to believe that the Macan EV will be a thoroughly sorted electric car.
As is Porsche EV tradition, the numbers for this Shipyard boat are eye-opening. Though restricted, the electric motor is still generating 400kW , which is transmitted via a shaft to the ‘characteristic marine Z-drive’. Hopefully that’ll make sense to the boaty folk. If there’s an especially well equipped harbour at which to dock, then that 250kW capability will see 10 per cent charge replenished to 80 per cent in ‘well under 30 minutes’.
Porsche has also been involved with the design of the boat, even down to the five analogue gauges like it’s a 911 and a steering wheel that looks straight from a Cayman. But with artificial leather that’s more resistant to salt water, of course. The front seats are Porsche items, too, designed to look like road car sports seats. There’s space for nine onboard, with a swimming platform out back, as well as a ‘generous lounge area with two comfortable sunbathing pads.
