Several automakers offer free public charging vouchers with new EV purchases, and the latest electric Porsche won’t be an exception. The automaker recently announced that 2025 Macan EV buyers would receive a year of free 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America (EA) stations.
The Macan EV starts at $75,300 and $105,300 in the top Turbo model, with range estimates landing at 308 miles for the basic trim and 288 for the speedier turbo. The SUV features an 800-volt electrical architecture and charging speeds of up to 270 kW, while Electrify America’s chargers can reach 350 kW under the right conditions.
Robert Barrosa, EA’s CEO, said, “The Macan Electric is perfectly complemented by our Hyper-Fast charging network delivering speeds of up to 350 kW. Macan customers will benefit from either the seamless Plug&Charge feature or using the My Porsche app to start charging.”
The Macan EV currently has an SAE CCS charging port, and the automaker hasn’t detailed plans to make Tesla NACS adapters or ports available in the future.
The EA offer starts at the date of purchase and extends for one year. While 30-minute charging sessions might not sound like a lot, the Macan EV can recover from a 10- to 80-percent state of charge in just 33 minutes using a DC fast charger. Finally, it’s important to note that EA is a division of VW. The Electrify America charging network was established by Porsche’s parent company following the Dieselgate emissions scandal.
