DRIVERS can get two years of free charging if they purchase a brand new Porsche Macan priced at $94,000 – but there are limits to where they can go.
The German brand’s hugely popular junior SUV has gone fully electric – with the entry-level version finally available to buy.

The all-electric Macan, which sits below the Cayenne in the luxury marque’s range of vehicles, was released back in January with the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo.
Now, the entry-level Macan has been made available to buy with a starting price of $94,900 – and new owners can charge up their shiny new EV for free thanks to an incredibly generous new offer.
However, it seems that Canadian Porsche buyers will be the only ones to benefit, as Porsche Cars Canada has linked up with Electrify Canada to provide the incredible charging benefits for drivers.
With the brand expanding its network of ultra and hyper-fast charging stations, Macan owners will be handed a whole two years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions.
The offer applies to all electric Macan models sold in Canada, allowing owners to charge their vehicles at public stations across the country for two years from the date of purchase.
The Macan EV’s price starts at $94,900 for the basic model, while its other iterations, the Macan 4 and Macan 4S are priced at $99,300 and $106,900 respectively.
The top-of-the-range Macan Turbo will cost a cool $125,300.
However, these prices include the complimentary charging benefit offered by Electrify Canada.
The EV network is ever-growing, and they claim over 40 new Hyper-Fast chargers are being added nationwide.
They say these new locations will be strategically placed along major highways and key areas – including the likes of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
President and CEO of Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., Trevor Arthur, highlighted that the expanding network will allow owners to enjoy fast charging while exploring Canada’s scenic routes.
He said: “Every Porsche is a sports car at its core and the new Macan Electric is no exception.”
Charging the Macan’s battery is quick and easy, with Porsche claiming the luxury model can be charged from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes at a 350kW station.
The Mancan’s 800-volt architecture supports a DC charging capacity of up to 270 kW, which means it’s great for driving long distances.
Recently, the chief designer of Porsche revealed that he dreams of designing a smaller and more compact version of the brand’s most iconic model – in a nod to its earlier years.
Car design guru Michael Mauer, who’s worked for the likes of Mercedes and Saab before joining Porsche in 2004, is keen for their next-generation 911 to be scaled-down – although he admits this could be a challenge.
Elsewhere, a luxury car brand is set to release a high-performance sporty EV next year to finally rival the Porsche Taycan.
