The new 2021 Porsche Panamera plug-in hybrid family has received new, improved EPA range and efficiency ratings, thanks mainly to higher battery capacity.
The family consists of a total of nine models, just like in the previous year:
The EPA ratings are common for three groups and we will get into details for all three:
In general, the 2021 Porsche Panamera PHEVs with a 17.9 kWh battery (instead of 14.1 kWh) can get 17-18 miles (27-29 km) of all-electric EPA range, compared to 13-15 miles (21-24 km) previously.
Please note that the EPA EV range in the images is different/higher by 1 mile than in our stats, as we rely on EPA documents (there is probably a small bug either on images or in documents).
The base 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid can go up to 18 mi (29 km) in all-electric mode (19 miles according to images).
The 2021 Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid also can go up to about 18 mi (29 km) in all-electric mode (19 miles according to images).
The EPA EV range of the top-of-the-line version is 17 mi (27.4 km). The lower rating is probably associated with bigger wheels in default configuration or a more powerful engine.
Thanks to a higher battery capacity, 2021 Porsche Panamera PHEVs can get the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
The acceleration of the E-Hybrid is the best among all hybrids (aside from maybe some exotics like Ferrari, but those usually have low EV range).
