- 2024 Macan 4 (Volvo XC60 PHEV, Subaru Forester ICE)
I live in NH. Comparing two trips, one done about a month ago, when ambient temps were in the 60s F, average speed 51 mph (including extensive 70-73 mph driving): 29.1 kWh/100 miles. Today, with ambient around freezing, average speed 46 mph (again including a fair amount of 70-73 mph driving): 35.7 kWh/100 miles.
I would say high-latitude winter road-tripping is not the ideal use case for Macan's (and most likely any EV). So far, I've only truly needed to DC-charge once (and did it twice more just for practice.) So, as long as you can limit yourself to 200 or so miles daily and have daily access to an AC charger, you're good.
