Love the idea of a fully electric Maccan and it looks sharp in that rendering. Porsche is going to have a very competitive electric lineup in the next couple years. There is a good chance that they'll take majority market share.
Porsche’s First All-Electric SUV Coming In 2022
Porsche will be pushing forward with the electrification of their lineup, with several new models following the Taycan. Among them will be the brand’s first all-electric SUV that is targeted directly at competitors like the Tesla Model X, Jaguar I-PACE, and Mercedes EQC.
The unnamed SUV is expected to borrow the same dual electric motor configuration as the Taycan, with the base model producing approximately 400 bhp. It should deliver a real-world range of 250 miles or more as it aims to echo the numbers claimed by its cousin, the Audi e-Tron.
Early speculations suggest that it will be an electric successor to the Macan, and will be similar in size. Thanks to its electric architecture it should, however, match the cargo volume found in the larger Porsche Cayenne.
Porsche has said that by 2025, half of all the vehicles in their stable will either be hybrids or fully electric models. In order to meet this timeline, we should be seeing at least one new EV per year, beginning with the Taycan.

@dennis The Jaguar I-Pace also doesn't feel like a well sorted all-electric SUV. Still a great option along with the E-Tron SUV. At least they hold up in extreme conditions you'd expect any traditional SUV to, like going off-road. The E-Tron has those capabilities but the I-Pace was just proven to do that well enough.
"My electric off-roader would have to have 33-inch All-Terrain tires on 17-inch wheels like my Jeep, and I’d prefer standard coil suspension and remote reservoir shocks, thank you very much. Still, I’m rubbing my hands together at the prospect of electric off-road propulsion. I’m all in when it comes to instant electric motor torque, a direct-drive transmission with no need for low range, and the precise throttle control that comes with one-pedal regenerative braking on the downslopes.
Range will be more of an issue for an electric off-roader than it would be for a personal commuting EV. Something like the 2020 Jaguar I-Pace HSE’s 234-miles might be fine for exploring some local mountains or if, say, Moab had compatible DC Fast chargers. But more range and more DC Fast Chargers near certain off-the-grid trailheads are necessary if electric overlanding is to become a thing. That said, electric stoves and even blenders become possible accessories. OK, now I’m way in. Nice trail car, indeed."

The Jaguar I-Pace is an SUV, right? Well, we take it off-road to see what an actual EV off-roader might be like someday.
