i have it and i charge at my house on 220v my work is at 7 mls from my house, for that never go to the gaz station in 3 month never put gas, and please when you seat on panamera the feeling is amazing compare to tesla, now is i have to go for 700 mls electric and gaz are amazing i don't need to stop 2 hours to charge i keep going like normal car, even in gaz full tank i do 600 mls driving 80 ml/h, i have before mercedes suv 350 ml and the bmw x6 but for the road panamera is the best . and when you press the button sport the car fly, to compare you have to seat 1 hour on the panamera hybrid and 1 hour on the tesla, i'm sure panamera will win 90 % time ,

Last week, a Honda dealer in Winter Haven offered a 2014 Panamera E-Hybrid for $32, 000 (57, xxx miles)

I was interested until 2 Porsche dealers' service depts. said battery replacement is $28, 000. Batteries often need replacement at 8 to 10 years.

I told sales that if they deed car over to me, I would remove it from their lot, same day. Haven't called me back!

They had taken it in trade to sell a used Tesla.

If a Panamera E-Hybrid would run without a high voltage battery I would have bought it.

Let's Roll! Wolf

Found one with 38k on the odometer for 40k as of this posting... not too bad.

The EPA tests give better results for plugins.  They rate this Porsche hybrid at 16 miles pure electric range (versus ~40 for Volt).  In gasoline mode the car gets 29 MPG on the that's worse than many V6 cars

It's so crazy it's almost the same price as the Taycan!

god!! you review panamera like 800 times

[sgbradley]

9.3 isn't a lot of MPG 30 or so, but the torque is there to move the Beast along Canada's Highways. $120K I don't think the Wife would let me even though she is 110% for Green Technology. Prius C anyone :'( ?

No thanks Porsche. I'll drive my S4 and pay for the gas. Too soon for these costly vehicles. Nice review Zack.

What a joke, no quick charger for that price? What a joke. 20 km for that price, or 400 km for a tesla model s. The choice is clear.

Panamera's are ugly. Porsche needs to re-design this already.
