REFRESHED PORSCHE TAYCAN FULL REVEAL, MERCEDES ESPRINTER LAUNCHES

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Taycan receives a significant refresh, focusing on core EV improvements rather than just aesthetics. Key upgrades include increased power across all trims, with the Turbo S now boasting 938 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds. Range is also substantially improved, with Porsche claiming up to 364 miles in real-world conditions, aided by a new, lighter, and higher-capacity battery pack (105 kWh gross). Charging performance is exceptional, with peak rates of 320 kW and sustained high speeds, not dropping below 300 kW until 65% state of charge. The new standard adaptive air suspension enhances both comfort and performance. While the price has increased, starting at $99,400 for the base model, the extensive engineering effort to improve efficiency, power, and charging makes it a technological benchmark. The review highlights that while expensive, the Taycan remains a compelling option for those seeking cutting-edge EV performance, though a used model is recommended for budget-conscious buyers.
