The 2025 Porsche Macan EV is the second all-electric offering from Porsche. The video focuses on a 70-mile-per-hour highway range test. The test vehicle is the rear-wheel-drive version. The EPA combined range is 315 miles. This version has 20-inch aero wheels to maximize range. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport EV wheels. The front tires are 235-55R20 and the rear tires are 285-45R20. As per the reviewer, most vehicles' speedometer reads a little fast to avoid manufacturer fines, so he set the cruise control to 72 mph to achieve 70 mph.
Before starting the range test, the reviewer checked the tire pressure and set the air suspension to the lowest setting to have the best mileage. Other testing adjustments included setting the climate control at 70 degrees. The test was started on a day with perfect weather for good range, 72 degrees and is expected to reach about 77 degrees. At the time of the test, there was a tail wind that may have aided the vehicle's range performance.
