IS THE PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO STILL THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE EV?

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo remains a benchmark for performance EVs, delivering a driving experience that truly feels like a Porsche, despite its considerable weight. The reviewer highlights its phenomenal acceleration, particularly in the mid-range, and impressive braking. Significant improvements in battery and range for the latest generation make it a more usable proposition, with the reviewer demonstrating a real-world range of approximately 300 miles on a single charge, a feat achieved even with spirited driving. Charging is also exceptionally rapid, with the car capable of adding around 600 miles of range per hour at an ultra-rapid charger, reaching 80% in under 20 minutes. However, the reviewer expresses a preference for the Sport Turismo or Cross Turismo body styles over the saloon and notes that the new Macan EV offers comparable performance with increased practicality, potentially making it the go-to Porsche EV for many. Despite its high price and the availability of less expensive, yet still potent, performance EVs from other brands, the Taycan Turbo is lauded for its impressive dynamics, comfortable ride, and luxurious interior, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice.
