The Macan is an SUV - people DO use them to haul groceries and pick up kids.
I wonder if there are any subsidies for buying EV/Hybrids in Europe? I wonder if that is skewing the numbers?

Depends on the country in question, but generally yes.
Denmark - cheaper registration
Netherlands - road tax exemptions
France - purchase bonuses (subsidy), but reduced
Germany - stopped most by 2024, road tax exemptions remain
UK - purchase grants mostly phased out.
Norway - VAT exemptions, reduced tolls
Spain - purchase grants, funding inconsistent
Italy - purchase incentives, but sporadic, funding runs out fast.
That doesn't seem like much to me to be a heavy driver.

New subsidies, probably active in May, but retroactively valid for any purchases since Jan 1st 2026. Less than a full BEV (which can fetch up to 6000 EUR, depending on income and number of children), but up to 1500 EUR if the electric range exceeds 80 km (50 mls).
