here is the charging time table update for the Macan - 100 kWh "raw" battery w/95 kWh "usable" - the table below is pretty good estimate for charging time given different 240V household circuits and breaker sizes…
the table has two columns for charging time "middle-right" - charge time to "full" from 5% to 100%
charge time for daily usage 45% to 85% that's 38 kWh - so about a budget of 150 miles day - which may be a bit much - but gives you a good idea of what you can do with 85% of battery capacity in the morning if you drive down to 45% during the day…

So will the Macan EV get more miles per KW than the Taycan?
yes it's much more efficient…
based on testing we know it can do 327 miles on 97% of battery capacity @ 70 mph - out of spec Kyle drove that far in the fall in colder temps - that's 92.15 kWh
327 / 92.15 = 3.54 miles/kWh - my Taycan best case is 3.2 mi/kwh - and normally 3 mi/kwh
not sure what the efficiency is of the Gen2 Taycan
but the Macan will certainly trounce the Gen1 Taycans for efficiency based on actual driving tests and Porsche's claims.

Wait, you have to charge them?? I thought they just used disposable batteries like a flashlight. This changes everything...
you'll want the rechargeable version - trust me - the flashlight batteries can onlyb e installed by Porsche deals - and you don't what to see what Porsche charges for the Macan approved batteries the dealer's install…it's just seriously profitable for Porsche - but OMG…

The first 3 rows values for time for 45% to 85% are clearly wrong. For example, the first row shows 1.44kW charge rate only taking 7:21 for 38kWh which is clearly impossible. Note that row 4 has twice the charge rate and twice the time.
It should be over 28 hours for row 1. It's easy to see that the times for other rows are 38 / (charge rate) / .9. Compare rows 3 and 4 which have the same charge rate and a 4X difference in time.

grrr - auto fill problems right problems - I'll fix the sheet and repost - the 95% column should be correcct - but the 40% daily use column still needs 'fixing' - thanks for the correction.

should be more correct now - thanks again for catching my "fill right" snafu…
these are estimated times - they should be accurate to +/- 10% - good enough for estimation - actual times will vary due to numerous factors - but it's going to ball park close enough for planning purposes.

So if I'm getting 2.8 to 3.0 miles per KW with my Taycan then I should be getting 3.1 to 3.3 miles per KW in the Macan EV.

at least - or better…the Macan EV appears to be approaching Tesla level's of efficiency which is about 4 miles/kwh - I do not think the Macan is a 4 mi/kwh vehicle, but damm close

Doubt I could get anything close to 4 miles per KW which the way I drive.
But...the last 2-3 rows under L2--doesn't that exceed the Macan's current AC charging rate?
yes but not the Taycan's (22/19.2 kW is an option at order time - 22 kW is a euro-limit - 19.2 kW is North American J-1772 limit) - they are there for "theory" - and it's not impossible for the 19.2 kW onboard charger to become an option for Macan's in the future (I have no idea and honestly don't even have speculation) - but yes you are 100% correct - at the moment North American Macan's are limited to 11 kW (60/48 amp) L2 AC charging…

FAQ: how long will it take to charge my Macan EV
