THE FASTEST ROAD TRIPPING EV I'VE EVER TESTED! UPDATED PORSCHE TAYCAN SPORT TURISMO 10% CHALLENGE

EV Channels Review

The updated Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo 4S has been put through its paces in a rigorous 10% road tripping challenge, simulating a 15-minute charge at 80 mph. The reviewer hails it as the fastest road-tripping EV tested to date, praising its exceptional charging performance, which allows it to add significant range in a short period. The new battery pack offers increased usable capacity, and the charging curve is described as a "charging plateau" holding high power levels for an extended duration. Despite being the Sport Turismo (wagon) variant, which is typically less efficient than the sedan, it achieved an impressive 158 miles in the test. While the reviewer notes its efficiency isn't class-leading compared to the sedan or potentially the Lucid Air, the Taycan's charging speed compensates significantly, making it a top contender for real-world road trips. The reviewer also highlights the improved driver assistance and overall comfort, though acknowledges the high cost and suggests used Taycans offer great value. The primary drawback mentioned is Porsche's historical reluctance with over-the-air updates.
