800 MILE ELECTRIC MISSION! ROAD TRIP CHALLENGE IN MY PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO S

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious 800-mile road trip from London to Munich in a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, undertaken with minimal planning. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's performance and comfort during long-distance driving, particularly on the German Autobahn where it reached its Vmax. However, the journey was not without its challenges. Initial charging attempts in the UK proved frustratingly unsuccessful, leading to anxiety. While charging infrastructure in France and Germany (Ionity) generally worked well, albeit with some detours and the need for careful planning, the reviewer notes the cost of rapid charging is comparable to equivalent combustion engine cars. The car's estimated range was also found to deplete faster than anticipated at higher speeds. Despite these hurdles and the inherent inconvenience of EV charging stops, the reviewer ultimately found the trip to be relatively successful and would do it again, emphasizing that the experience would be smoother with a longer-range EV.
