How many kilometers can a fully charged Porsche Taycan travel?
2 Answers
Porsche Taycan can travel 414 kilometers when fully charged. The Porsche Taycan is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 4-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4963mm in length, 1966mm in width, and 1395mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. The Porsche Taycan features a rear-wheel drive system, with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The Porsche Taycan is equipped with a 409-horsepower permanent magnet or synchronous electric motor and a 2-speed automatic transmission. The rear motor has a maximum power of 300 kW and a maximum torque of 345 Nm.
I've driven the Porsche Taycan a few times and found its range to be quite reliable. When fully charged, the official claim is 400-500 km, varying by model and battery pack. I tested the base version in daily commuting and it could easily cover around 450 km, dropping to about 380 km on highways. In winter with the heater on, the range shrinks to around 350 km, so planning charging stops in advance is necessary. Charging is also hassle-free—just install a home charger and it's fully charged overnight. Don’t underestimate the impact of driving habits; rapid acceleration is fun but drains the battery quickly. I usually drive in Eco mode with cruise control to save energy, which helps extend the range. Porsche’s fast-charging technology is impressive—plug into a DC charger at a highway rest stop, and you get 80% charge in half an hour, making long trips convenient. Compared to pure electric SUVs, the Taycan is more agile in handling, making the slightly shorter range worth it. Potential buyers should consider their daily needs—it’s perfect for city commutes, but long trips require a bit more preparation.
