Cayenne EV

[PrudentOcean]

I priced one a couple of months ago with the options that I would want and came up with a price that was almost $70K more than the Macan I have now.

You must have been comparing Turbo's or the US prices are entirely different to the UK. All my costs come from the UK configuration and my priced order.

great post - thanks for sharing

2 charging ports

1 charging port = NACS for fast charging - NACS native and CCS via Adapter
1 charging port = J-1772 for AC (slow) charging - NACS via Adapter

it's unclear from Porsche's announcements if the native NACS port is AC/DC or DC Only - I'm going to guess DC only - because AC/DC via NACS is slightly complex requiring an OBC capable of multi-plexing AC/DC current…Tesla does it but apparenlty Porsche can't…

Rivian does it too.

I saw something (I believe last month) that said the NACS port was DC only, and they planned to eventually make it both AC and DC but that would not be a retrofit / software update, it would only apply to the new units once they got it to work.

I don't think these are comparable vehicles when you factor in driving experience.
Macan is fun to drive, it's still a toss-it-around car.
Cayenne will not be that.

I was comparing a 2026 Macan Turbo EV with the options I have on my 2025 against a Cayenne Turbo EV with equivalent options plus anything that's new on that model which I would want. The Cayenne was an extra $72,733.

2026 Macan Turbo EV $145,950

2026 Cayenne Turbo EV $218,683

The Turbo Cayenne is a very expensive car - at UK prices the start price is £ 33k more than the Macan Turbo. The Macan is £ 20k more than a 4S but the Cayenne Turbo is £ 30k more than an S.

It will be interesting to see how many Turbo’s are sold compared to say the S. In the UK the major insurance companies are declining to quote as the car has not yet been ‘insurance certified’ but Porsche Insurance will quote. I wonder how much cover will be for a 2.5t car capable of 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.
