Every electric Porsche Macan, from the rear-wheel-drive Macan through the Macan 4 and 4S to the GTS and Turbo, charges on AC through a Type 2 inlet and takes a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. All of them carry the same 100 kWh battery with about 95 kWh usable, and on a home charge point they draw 7.4 kW. That pairing makes the Porsche Macan Electric an unusual cable decision. Filling 95 kWh at 7.4 kW takes 14 hours 30 minutes, longer than any overnight tariff period, so almost nobody charges a Macan from flat on a driveway. The vehicle is topped up in slices instead, and the question is not how long a full charge takes but how much range one cheap rate window puts back. That number is what separates the cables below.

Porsche Macan charging cable: which amperage fills the window

The one to buy for home: the 32A single phase cable. Our rated power list calls it 32amp (7.2kW) and it passes 7.4 kW of charging power, all that one live phase delivers at a British address. Seven hours on that cable moves about 52 kWh, roughly 55 per cent of a Macan's battery, worth about 217 miles in the rear-wheel-drive car and about 203 in a Turbo. It is the only rating we build in 15 and 20 metre lengths. Idle on a driveway, useful away from it: the 32A three phase cable, listed as 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW). A house is fed by a single live phase, and the two spare power cores in that lead have nothing to connect to, so the Macan settles at the same 7.4 kW. Its value is at a workplace or public charging station fed by three phases, where an 11 kW Macan finishes in 9 hours 45 minutes. Porsche announced in August 2026 that the new model year brings a 22 kW onboard charger as standard on the Macan GTS and Turbo, and as an option on the Macan, Macan 4 and Macan 4S. Those 22 kW cars empty to full in 5 hours at a three phase post, and they are the only Macans that use everything this lead can carry. The one that shrinks the window: the 16A cable, shown as 16amp (3.6kW). It holds the car at 3.7 kW, so those seven hours return about 112 miles rather than 217, and a full charge stretches to 29 hours. On a battery this large the cheaper lead is what pushes an electric car out of the night rate and into the day.

Length is set by the wallbox rather than by how you park, because the Porsche Macan Electric has a charging flap in each rear wing and Porsche GB confirms AC charging works on both sides, with one port locking automatically while the other is in use. Rapid DC runs through the left hand flap only. On a 4.78 metre car that means the run you measure is from the unit to the nearer rear corner, whichever way the nose points, and on an ordinary drive 5 metres often covers it. Choose 10 metres when the charge point is at the front of the house and the Macan sits at the top of the drive, when the bay is shared, or when a wall forces a detour. The 15 and 20 metre cables are for kerbside charging, a detached garage, or a unit mounted at the road end of a long approach. Pace the route out with the vehicle where it lives, since Type 2 leads cannot be joined to make up a shortfall.

A household lead is the gap in most Macan Electric boots. Porsche GB states that a Mode 3 cable is part of the standard equipment for a Porsche BEV and should always be carried in the car, while the Porsche Mobile Charger that plugs into a domestic socket is listed as optional equipment, so the 3-pin half is the piece an owner is least likely to have. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable is the 6amp - 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW) entry in the list. Think of it as a portable charger, not a second home lead: it pulls 2.3 kW from an ordinary household socket, worth about 10 miles of range an hour, so one night parked at a house with no wallbox returns roughly 70 miles, enough to get a Macan home. Its control box holds a Type B RCD and winds the draw back to 6 amps where wiring is old, and the IP67 seal covers an outdoor socket in the wet. Against 95 kWh it is no routine: from empty it would run for 46 hours 45 minutes.

Porsche's larger electric SUV is covered on the Porsche Cayenne charging cable page, and every EV charging lead we build for the marque sits in Porsche charging cables. Certification first on the cables themselves: the Type 2 to Type 2 is CE marked, built to IEC 62196-2, sealed to IP55 and rated from -30C to +50C. The Type 2 to 3-Pin answers to IEC 62752, is CE marked, sealed further to IP67 and rated from -30C to +60C. Both EV cables carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, ship on free next working day UK delivery, and come back free inside 30 days if the length turns out wrong.

Porsche Macan Charging Times by Version

Macan Electric, rear-wheel drive, 2025 on, about 95 kWh usable, up to 398 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, or 22 kW with the optional charger from the latest model year, 7.4 kW single phase

Macan 4 Electric and Macan 4S Electric, 2024 on, about 95 kWh usable, up to 379 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, or 22 kW with the optional charger from the latest model year, 7.4 kW single phase

Macan GTS and Macan Turbo Electric, about 95 kWh usable, up to 366 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, rising to 22 kW as standard from the latest model year, 7.4 kW single phase

Porsche quotes a band rather than one figure for each version, 341 to 398 miles for the rear-wheel-drive Macan, 328 to 379 for the Macan 4, 326 to 379 for the 4S, 330 to 363 for the GTS and 328 to 366 for the Turbo, so a car on the largest wheels sits below the range per hour shown above. Battery capacity does not move between versions: Porsche gives 100 kWh gross with roughly 95 kWh usable across the range, and the times here are worked from the usable figure. Every row loses some of its miles per hour on a cold morning and at a steady 70 mph.
