What is the range of the Porsche Taycan?
2 Answers
The range of the Porsche Taycan is 465 kilometers. The range refers to the maximum distance a car can travel in pure electric mode relying solely on the battery power. The Porsche Taycan is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 4-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4963mm, width 1966mm, height 1395mm, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The Porsche Taycan adopts a rear-wheel drive configuration, with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. It is equipped with a 409-horsepower permanent magnet synchronous motor and a 2-speed automatic transmission. The rear motor has a maximum power of 300 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 345 Newton-meters.
I've been driving a Porsche Taycan for over six months, and the actual range varies quite a bit in real-world driving. The official WLTP test data claims over 400 kilometers—my Taycan 4S is rated at 413 km. But it depends on conditions: highway cruising or using air conditioning can drop it to around 350 km, while city driving gets closer to 400 km. In winter, cold batteries reduce efficiency, cutting range by 20%, and summer AC use trims it by 10%. Aggressive acceleration drains the battery faster, though regenerative braking recovers some energy. I usually drive in Eco mode to extend range—my daily 30 km commute means charging just once a week. A 15-minute fast charge adds 100 km, handy but reliant on charging point planning. The driving experience is phenomenal, with precise handling and rapid acceleration. While the range isn’t as long as some Tesla models, it’s sufficient overall, especially paired with Porsche’s comfort and reliability.
