BLASTING ACROSS EUROPE IN THE PORSCHE TAYCAN CT HEADING FROM GERMANY TO NORWAY!

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious EV road trip from Germany to Norway in a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's exceptional performance, particularly its handling and acceleration, praising its ability to manage tight corners with rear-wheel steering and its impressive braking capabilities with carbon-ceramic brakes. The Cross Turismo body style is lauded for its practicality as a fast GT wagon. However, the trip faced significant logistical challenges, most notably the inability to bring the Porsche into Norway due to customs regulations, forcing a change in plans. The reviewer also notes the vehicle's thirst for energy when driven aggressively, averaging around 2 miles per kWh during spirited driving, but emphasizes the Taycan's rapid charging capabilities (up to 270 kW) as a key enabler for such high-performance road trips. Despite the itinerary changes, the reviewer expresses a strong desire to own a Taycan, perhaps a less expensive variant like the 4S Cross Turismo.
