Cayenne EV comes with one NACS (fast charging only from what we've heard so far - NACS native fast charging and CCS fast charging via CCS adapter) - J-1772 _ONLY_ on the other side for L2 charging…
718 EV would be next, then Taycan, then Macan if you were going to "cycle" it…
but this is just a guess - 2027 is very very unlikely since they will be making this "generation" for at least 2 years 2026/2027…

but again it mostly does not matter - you'll still need adapters forever since there will never be 100% of one type of charging station in the wild…you'll always want/need an adapter if you want to use other people's/public/commerical EV chargers…

Disagree - I'm interested in the Macan EV, but wouldn't consider it until it has a native NACS port. I've been driving a Tesla Model Y for nearly 5 years and I've never used an adapter once. All charging has been done at home with my Tesla Wall Connector, or on the road at Tesla Superchargers (100% NACS).
I owned Tesla's since 2011 I'm well aware of what they can and can not do and what charging networks can and can not do - an adpater is a force multipler giving you more access to more charging stations…
and the Macan comes with an adapter, and even if you have a NACS based Macan you'll still need to use a CCS adatper to access non-supercharger CCs stations
but we won't have a Macan with a native NACS port until at least 2028 probably 2032 - so we wont' have to worry about you having a Macan will we?
what a great 1st post on a porsche centric forum - not trolling at all…
but you do you and good luck.

you're naive - but ok - CCS is faster than superchargers and you'll never get 270 kW charge rate at Supercharger…when EA works it's vastly faster than a supercharger.

Upcoming BMW iX3 and Volvo EX60 are confirmed to have NACS, and the Mercedes GLC almost certainly will as well. I think it's going to be hard for the Macan to compete in the US without that.

That absolutely sucks for such a premium product.
Add to that the rapid expansion of networks like Ionna ans while NACS is great as Dave says for a force multiplier to get access to more Tesla stations, I'd still want a CCS adapter for fastest charging in one of those.
So for now, not a make or break for me.

Suggest you learn about about charging issues related to superchargers when running 800v vhelcies. While the Macan is a 400v, the ones you mentioned above are all 800v, which means some sort of on board boost or pack split needed to use a 400v charger like a supercharger. I noted in the fine print (after Kyle from OOS mentioned it) that the EX60's 400V charging is limited to.....

To get back to the topic of this thread….A few months ago I received from Porsche, my complementary (Porsche approved) Tesla adapter. Didn’t order anything, it just came in the mail. While nice to have, I don’t ever expect to use it outside of an emergency. That’s for multiple reasons: (1) Can’t stand Musk nor his political positions, so will never give him one cent of my money if i can avoid it; (2) I have a 1 year free charging plug-‘N--chage subscription at Electrify America…with two EA stations within a 7 mile radius of my home; (3) I have a home charger, which I use exclusively with my P2, and plan to use exclusively with the Macan when my subscription runs out. I pay $0.11/kWh (includes taxes and distribution charges) on weekends and after 9pm at night during the week….so this is a no brainer to charge at home. ; and (4) The EV’s are used for local runs, but with longer runs to the mountains, or the beaches, where EV charging stations can be scarce (yes, even for Tesla), we use our larger ICE SUV for any trips needing more room for our 2 dogs and assorted camping/beach crap.

I don't think it's too surprising that someone who has never used the Tesla charging network and is getting by fine without it wouldn't care that much about having access. But I think you're in the minority and there is a much larger market of EV owners who have only ever owned a Tesla - in 2025 Tesla sold more EVs in the US than all other manufacturers combined, and that effect was even more pronounced in previous years. And tons of these folks want to dump Tesla for the same reason as you, but we're used to the incredibly tight integration between the car and the Tesla charging network and we don't want to have to learn all these whacky adapters and different charging networks with different apps and subscriptions.
wow - soooo much coolaid - get back to us when you actually OWN a non-Tesla EV - until then your perspective is pointless
there will never be an entire set of choices that are only NACS - that ship as sailed - until then you'll need an adapter - my son uses the CCS adapter for his Model Y all the time because sometimes in the real world the supercharger network is not the best choice, or even a choice…
just to confirm you do not _OWN_ a Porsche do you?

so you're clueless - since you never charge away from home? You've never been forcedt o use the "real" world where things are not so rosey?

and again it doens't matter - CCS charging stations and their cords will be with us for quite a while - a decade or more - and there are fewer than 20 800V superchargers in North America and they are not open to non-Tesla…

if you wish to drive places you'll have to use a CCS network cord or a NACS cord - and for that you'll need an adapter for at least the next decade.
if you don't charge away from home then you can simply purchase the Tesla Universal Wall Charger which has both types of connections - I have 3 in my home - they work great…
you better stick to Tesla and it's declining business and exit of the automotive world - the last earnings call they expect only 1-5% of all mile driven will be non-autonomous any day now.

so you've never used the J-1772 adapter that COMES WITH EVERY TESLA!!!
