Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are hybrids with high-capacity batteries that can be charged by plugging them in. Although PHEVs do not have to be plugged in to be driven, they will not achieve optimal fuel consumption or maximum driving range without charging.

Im Rahmen einer internationalen Presseveranstaltung hat der Panamera S E-Hybrid im Mittel über 42 Testfahrten mit Journalisten über eine Gesamtdistanz von mehr als 1.200 Kilometern nur 4,4 Liter auf 100 Kilometer verbraucht. Der Bestwert des weltweit ersten Plug-in-Hybrid-Modells in der Luxusklasse lag auf einer Runde sogar bei lediglich 2,8 l/100 km. Das zeigt, dass sich im realen Alltagsbetrieb durchaus Verbrauchwerte in der Größenordnung des NEFZ-Verbauchs erzielen lassen, der 3,1 l/100 km beträgt. Und das, obwohl die insgesamt vier vollkommen serienmäßigen Panamera S E-Hybrid jeweils mit drei bis vier Personen besetzt waren, die Klimaanlagen eingeschaltet waren und auf der Autobahnetappe auf bis zu 230 km/h beschleunigt wurde. Die insgesamt 28,7 Kilometer lange Testrunde durch und um die Stadt Hockenheim herum setzte sich aus 6,5 Kilometer Stadtfahrt, 9,2 Kilometer Landstraßen und 13 Kilometer zum Teil unlimitierte Autobahn zusammen. Voraussetzung zum Erreichen solcher Werte ist, dass die Auflademöglichkeit der 9,4-kWh-Lithium-Ionen-Batterie am Stromnetz konsequent genutzt wird. Ebenfalls in der Praxis bestätigt wurde die rein elektrische Reichweite von 36 Kilometern mit einem Verbrauch von 0,0 l/100 km und ohne lokale Emissionen, die somit nicht nur im NEFZ auf dem Prüfstand, sondern auch auf der Straße erreichbar ist. Und das sogar mit einer Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 54 km/h, während diese im NEFZ lediglich 33 km/h beträgt. Rein elektrisch angetrieben ist der Panamera mit dem neuen Hybridantrieb bis zu 135 km/h schnell.
