EV Channels Review

InsideEVs conducted a 70 mph highway range test on the 2021 Porsche Taycan RWD, equipped with the optional 93.4 kWh Performance Plus battery pack. The reviewer found the Taycan consistently outperforms its EPA ratings, achieving 297.3 miles on this test, significantly exceeding the highway EPA rating of 240 miles and the combined rating of 225 miles. The vehicle was tested in range mode with climate control set to 69 degrees Fahrenheit, under ambient temperatures between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite minor traffic delays and a slight crosswind, the Taycan demonstrated impressive efficiency, averaging 3.5 miles per kilowatt-hour. The reviewer highlighted the Taycan's comfortable highway driving experience and its strong performance relative to its EPA estimates, noting it even outperformed the Tesla Model S Plaid in a similar test under slightly more favorable conditions. The optional extended range battery pack, costing approximately $5,780, is deemed a worthwhile investment for those considering a Taycan.
