What is the actual tested range of the Taycan in kilometers?
2 Answers
The actual tested range of the Taycan is 465 kilometers. It is a mid-to-large-sized high-performance pure electric vehicle under the Porsche brand, with body dimensions of: length 4963mm, width 1966mm, height 1395mm, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The Taycan comes in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions, with the all-wheel-drive models being the Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, and Taycan Turbo S. The entire Taycan lineup uses ternary lithium batteries, with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The base model has a maximum horsepower of 530ps, while the top model reaches 762ps.
I've driven the Taycan a few times, with actual range fluctuating between 350 to 400 kilometers. For leisurely city commuting, hitting 380 km is effortless; but when pushing to 120 km/h on highways, it might drop to around 330 km. Running the AC adds about 10% more energy consumption, and it gets worse in winter, dropping to just over 300 km. I usually drive gently with regenerative braking set to maximum, which helps stabilize the range. I recommend owners track their driving for a few days: how long they actually drive on a single charge, using apps like PlugShare to monitor real-world data. After all, the Taycan is a sports car—fast charging is a big help, topping up most of the battery in half an hour. But for frequent long trips, charging stops need planning. Once you adapt, the range feels decent, easily covering a week of commutes without worry. The key is to consider your own driving habits and climate, not just the official numbers.
