Today only the big ccs 350 can power it fully.
The newest V4's will also push it all the way.
It's got a dedicated 400V charging circuit, so Im super curious to see how long it can peg a V3.

This is truly an impressive update to the beautiful Taycan. Almost 100 more miles range, about a 30% improvement. Bigger batteries help, of course. Super fast charging, depending on charger speed. Real world could mean pretty full charge in 15 minutes, depending. Impressive. Porsche has learned their lessons well. 300+ plus miles range is plenty for most use cases, especially as compared to the current Taycans.
Has to be one of the quickest Porsches ever. Expensive? Heck yeah, and MSRP means little because there are none at that price. Option packs are the norm for Porsche.
The cars are a little down on power and speed as compared to the top dogs, but few owners push their EVs to their limits. Owners will hardly be disappointed.
Would I buy one? Well, that's a lotta scratch but they are fantastic cars. You gotta pay to play. Waaaay better than the Lucid Air, IMO. I am such a fan. Now there's the unreal 992...

Some would say big boys might know thing or two…
I wonder if they have somehow broken the Lithium battery code, where fast charging is harmless to the cells....
In any case, spectacular car in just about every way. I've always loved the idea of a true 4 door performance car.

Me too…but I went twin turbo V-12 with active suspension to get there…
I love the looks of the Taycan - and the performance. The price is a bit higher than I would hope to pay, but the raw performance and improvement in recharging rate is enough to change the calculus on EV and bring this one closer to my garage.

A truly awesome vehicle! Thank you for posting. A range increase of 100 miles is mind blowing at this stage of the EV game.
I suspect there is still some long term detriment to using DCFC vs Level1/Level2 but at the price point of this car I don't think it matters. Compared to the cost of maintenance and repairs on an ICE car with similar performance, the Taycan will be so much cheaper across 10 years of ownership... and I doubt anyone buys a new Taycan and keeps it for 10 years.
It’s how they section the battery. They’re not throwing 330kW at an 800V battery. They’re splitting and distributing that power to charge multiple smaller batteries in a sense. That’s how they’re able to maintain speed longer and also heavy use of the cooling system. Heat is the biggest issue.
Any way you slice it, that's around a 3C charge rate. A range where dendrite growth is expected. The hope is that these "next gen" cells have some form of dendrite growth prevention in their chemistry (a high discharge rate is said to help reduce dendrite size, and maybe blowing out the cobwebs every once in a while is the answer) . An ideal charge rate would be 15 times lower than that.
Of course a slower rate would be better for battery longevity, but like other EVs I don’t think they intend for this to be the only charging method. Most don’t use public charging until they’re traveling far enough to need it.
Cost of ownership will end up being sky high because the market for used EVs won’t be there. Dealers already don’t want them on trade. JMO.
Correct. In fact, the current lease rates already reflect this in the "cost per mile" metric. A MY-LR is 65c per mile base lease cost.
Funny enough the Ford dealer here seems to be obsessed with them, buying Rivians and Teslas from auction for the lot.
Maybe that's simply a matter of market forces. Get 'em cheap, sell 'em high.
I think it worked for awhile. They may be slowing. The Rivians seemed to sell fast. They had a Model S 75D that I considered, but the body was a bit scuffed up and I don't think it was cared for too well. I also would have preferred a bit more range and for $29k if I was going to buy a Tesla I would have just made the move to a new Model 3 for $35k. They had to have that one somewhere around 4-6 months.
Old naming habits die hard. Kind of like all the 911s being turbocharged and only the bigger turbo model is called Turbo. They just did it in the opposite direction this time.
The name. There is nothing to force air into. Regardless, the Taycan is a beautiful car to own.
Available in the spring. That’s in the space time continuum that we live in.
