Get ready for an electric ride! Porsche has started making its new electric Macan SUV at their big factory in Leipzig, Germany. This is a big deal because it’s the first electric car ever built at this factory, and they had to invest a whopping $650 million to make it happen.
The electric Macan joins its gasoline-powered brother on the assembly line alongside the Panamera. This is all part of Porsche’s plan to go green. They want to make most of their cars electric by 2030, and the Macan EV is a big step forward.
The Macan EV comes in two flavors: the Macan 4 and the Macan Turbo. The first one has 402 horsepower, while the Turbo is a real beast with 630 horsepower! Both are all-wheel drive and have a big battery pack that should allow them to travel around 300 miles on a single charge. Porsche is sure to cook up even faster and more powerful versions of the Macan EV in the future.
But the Macan EV is just the beginning. Next up for Porsche is an electric version of their famous 718 sports car. They’re also working on a giant electric SUV, even bigger than their Cayenne model.
