PORSCHE TAYCAN VS LUCID GRAVITY: WHO REALLY HAS THE FASTEST EV CHARGING?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the 2025 Porsche Taycan against the 2025 Lucid Gravity in a head-to-head charging speed comparison. The reviewer meticulously tests charging from 0 to 100% using a 350 kW DC fast charger, analyzing not just raw energy added but also the crucial metric of range replenishment rate. While the Lucid Gravity initially pulls higher wattage and adds more energy in the first 5-10 minutes, the Porsche Taycan demonstrates a remarkable ability to maintain a high charging rate (over 300 kW) much deeper into its battery's state of charge, particularly up to 75%. The review highlights that the Taycan can reach 80% in 19 minutes, significantly faster than the Gravity's 27 minutes. However, when factoring in the vehicles' respective ranges and efficiencies, the Gravity ultimately edges out the Taycan in adding miles of range per minute, especially in the crucial first 20 minutes of charging. The reviewer awards a conditional crown to the Lucid Gravity as the fastest-charging EV available in North America, pending a real-world range test, acknowledging that the Taycan consistently exceeds its EPA range estimates while other EVs often fall short. The video also touches upon the even faster charging capabilities emerging from China.
