Porsche has recently unveiled its second electric vehicle, the Macan Electric. The model is scheduled to enter the US market in the second half of 2024.
The compact SUV is expected to be more affordable than the Porsche Taycan and equally practical for everyday use. It is projected to outsell the Taycan, which recorded 40,629 global sales last year.

The electrified Porsche Macan will be available in two versions – the Macan 4 Electric and Macan Turbo Electric – both equipped with the same 100-kWh battery and a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain.
The entry-level Porsche Macan 4 Electric will start at $78,800, plus a $1,650 destination charge. If you opt for the faster model, the Porsche Macan Turbo Electric will be priced at $105,300, which is a $26,500 premium over the base model.
| Model | Base Price | Dest. Charge | Tax Credit | Effective Price |
| 2024 Porsche Macan 4 Electric 20-inch | $78,800 | +$1,650 | N/A | $80,450 |
| 2024 Porsche Macan Turbo Electric 20-inch | $105,300 | +$1,650 | N/A | $106,950 |
The vehicle is manufactured at the Porsche Plant Leipzig in Germany and imported to the U.S., so it may not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. However, it may still be eligible for the incentive if leased.
