3% BATTERY LEFT! MY PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO S RAPID CHARGING EXPERIENCE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer documents their first experience with a 350kW Ionity rapid charger in their Porsche Taycan Turbo S, aiming to assess its viability for long road trips, including a journey to the Nurburgring. Despite initial range anxiety with the battery dipping to 3% and facing cold weather conditions, the charging experience proved surprisingly positive. The Taycan, with its 800-volt architecture, achieved a 3% to 80% charge in 37 minutes, a result the reviewer found "pleasantly surprising" and manageable during a service stop. While the full 3% to 100% charge took over an hour, the reviewer concludes that EV road trips are feasible with proper planning using charging apps and navigation. Minor frustrations included a non-functional charger and a slight learning curve with the charging process and unplugging the cable. The reviewer ultimately found the experience more pleasant and efficient than anticipated, deeming it a viable option for extended journeys.
