This video presents a comprehensive cold-weather highway range test of the 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S, equipped with the optional 93.4 kWh Performance Plus battery. Despite being cold-soaked overnight to 14°F (-10°C) and fitted with winter tires, the Taycan achieved an impressive 213 miles at a constant 70 mph. This result exceeds the EPA rating of 203 miles, a feat the reviewer highlights as characteristic of Porsche's tendency to under-promise and over-deliver. The reviewer praises the Taycan's driving dynamics, road feel, and its unique two-speed transmission, considering it a favorite electric vehicle despite its premium price point. The test also notes the battery preconditioning for DC fast charging, which slightly reduced the final range but is essential for optimal charging. Overall, the Taycan 4S demonstrates remarkable efficiency and performance even in adverse winter conditions.
