You definitely should consider it. I have never been keen on Macans but as a bev it appeals much more. It will sell as Macan owners don't really care about what's powering it.

Turbochargers started out rare, expensive, and definitely something to brag about with a big "Turbo" badge. Recently, so many gas engine vehicles have turbos that manufacturers often don't bother to promote that aspect. Now the badge "Turbo" doesn't even necessarily mean the car has one at all. Time marches on.

Emissions made turbos a common thing, if you don't have them your stuck with a slow small engine car. I don't like that they put "turbo" on an EV it makes no sense 🤦‍♂️ basically defeats the purpose of the term turbo in a turbo car.

9:11 - 4.2 miles per kwh to run the Macan 4! Let's talk about cost efficiency to run: Macan EV: Cost per mile = Cost per kWh / Miles per kWh = $0.25 / 4.2 miles/kWh = $0.0595 per mile Current Macan ICE: Assuming 20 mpg (approx last gen Macan) in which a gallon costs $3.89: Cost per mile = Cost per gallon / Miles per gallon = $3.89 / 20 miles/gallon = $0.1945 per mile Let's consider a hypothetical distance, say 100 miles: Macan ICE cost for 100 miles = $0.1945 per mile * 100 miles = $19.45 Macan EV cost for 100 miles = $0.0595 per mile * 100 miles = $5.95 So, over 100,000 miles, the electric vehicle would save approximately $14,526.24 compared to the gas-powered car. Assuming a depreciation of 50% (I'm being generous), that will offset depreciated value by roughly 16% over 100,000 miles of ownership.
