Porsche Macan Electric Gains Momentum: A Strong Start in the U.S. Market

Porsche's Macan Electric is off to a fast start, making up over 40% of U.S. Macan sales in 2025. With declining Taycan sales, Porsche is betting big on EVs. Read more on the latest trends.

Porsche is accelerating its electrification strategy, and the strong debut of the Macan Electric is a clear testament to that. The electric version of the popular crossover has hit the ground running, accounting for over 40% of all Macan sales in the U.S. in 2025. This milestone is particularly significant, given that Porsche’s first EV, the Taycan, has been struggling with declining sales.

The Macan EV’s success is no fluke. In 2024, it outsold its gasoline counterpart nearly two to one, despite being on sale for only the last three months of the year. The European market played a crucial role in this shift—Porsche discontinued the gas-powered Macan there in early 2024 due to cybersecurity regulations. While European consumers were left with no alternative, the Macan Electric is proving to be a strong contender in the U.S., where customers do have a choice.

This momentum is crucial for Porsche, as its broader EV strategy has faced challenges. While the Macan Electric is thriving, the Taycan is struggling. In 2024, its sales plummeted by 49% to just 20,836 units, making up only 6% of Porsche’s total sales. The company is now pinning much of its electrified future on the Macan EV.

And Porsche isn’t stopping there. CEO Oliver Blume has already hinted at the next big move: an electric Cayenne, set to debut on the U.S. West Coast later in 2025. The company is aiming for electrified models—both hybrids and EVs—to account for 33-35% of total sales by the end of the year, with fully electric vehicles making up at least 20%.

For now, the Macan Electric is delivering on its promise. But will it maintain its momentum once the initial hype fades? That’s the big question Porsche will have to answer in the coming months.
