EV ROAD TRIP KING! PORSCHE TAYCAN GOES INSANELY FAR AFTER ONLY A 15MIN CHARGE IN THE 10% CHALLENGE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Taycan, in its best road-tripping specification (rear-wheel drive with the large battery), has proven itself the new king of the 10% Challenge. The vehicle demonstrated exceptional charging performance, adding 70.9 kWh in just 15 minutes, holding over 300 kW from 10% to 67% state of charge. This translates to impressive real-world range, with the Taycan achieving 193 miles in the simulated road trip at 80 mph, even under suboptimal cold and windy conditions. While its efficiency (2.7 miles/kWh calculated) is solid but not class-leading, the combination of rapid charging and substantial range significantly outperforms competitors like the Lucid Air Grand Touring. The reviewer highlights that a 15-minute charge is sufficient for the Taycan, making EV road trips increasingly comparable to refueling gasoline cars.
