The electric Porsche Macan is now outselling the gas version of the car.
Nearly 60 percent of Macans sold so this year don’t have a combustion engine.
The Macan series as a whole has seen a huge rise in sales, with 45,137 units being sold between January and June.
However, there is one factor that might have skewed the figures.

The electric Porsche Macan is outpacing the gas equivalent
According to a report from Zuffenhausen, roughly 57 percent of Macan buyers opted for the electric version in the first six months of this year.
That’s the equivalent of 25,884 electric units out of the 45,137 sold overall.
However, any cause for celebration from EV advocates must be done so with a pretty large asterisk.
You see, the gas car isn’t available in all territories, while the electric version is.
For example, the Macan with an internal combustion engine (ICE) is no longer available for sale in the European Union, due to new cybersecurity regulations.
Said regulations being the General Safety Regulation and UNECE WP.29 mandate that lays out that all vehicles sold in the EU have to meet certain cybersecurity requirements.
Therefore, the gas Macan ceased to be sold in the EU from the spring of 2024 onwards.
With this in mind, it puts in perspective why the electric version did so well.
Perhaps if the ICE version was still being sold throughout the EU, the figures might tell a slightly different story.
EVs are on the rise
It seems like everywhere you look these days, EVs are on the rise.
Not only are they being embraced by brands from Toyota to Volvo, but entire countries are getting behind the movement.
In Norway, 97 percent of all cars sold are electric, which is an astonishing figure.
While the equivalent figure was only 10 percent in the US, one study found more than 70 percent of US motorists are either ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’ to go for an EV for their next car.
It’s expected that one in four cars sold in 2025 will be EVs – and this figure will be 40 percent by 2030.
The future is here, people.
