Electrify America, the largest open DC fast charging network in North America, and Porsche Cars North America have announced the extension of their charging collaboration to include the all-new Macan Electric. This charging benefit provides Macan Electric owners with one year of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions* at Electrify America stations across the United States.

The all-new Macan Electric is the latest addition to Porsche’s vehicle lineup. Its 800-volt architecture supports a 270-kilowatt (kW) potential charging speed under ideal conditions, making it one of the fastest charging vehicles in the industry.

“The Macan Electric is perfectly complemented by our Hyper-Fast charging network delivering speeds of up to 350 kW,” said Robert Barrosa, president and CEO of Electrify America. “Beyond the impressive charging speeds, Macan customers will benefit from either the seamless Plug&Charge feature or using the My Porsche app to start charging. With Plug&Charge activated, drivers can simply plug in and start charging, streamlining their charging experience, and saving even more time.”

Macan Electric owners will have one year from the date of purchase to utilize the complimentary 30-minute charging sessions.* To activate this benefit, owners can enroll during the Porsche Charging Service process. Additionally, drivers can use the My Porsche app or in-vehicle navigation to locate nearby charging stations, verify charger availability, and navigate to the charging stations.

“We are excited to extend our collaboration with Electrify America and offer our customers the convenience of 30-minute charging sessions for the all-new Macan,” said Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “This charging benefit is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible ownership experience and to supporting the growth of electric vehicles in the United States.”

Electrify America currently operates over 970 stations and 4,350 chargers in North America. It is also the first open DC fast-charging network to offer Plug&Charge technology to capable vehicles, enhancing the seamlessness of the charging experience.
