DRIVING A PORSCHE TAYCAN 600 MILES IN A DAY. IS THIS EV GOOD FOR LONG DISTANCE?

EV Channels Review

This video documents a 600-mile journey undertaken in a Porsche Taycan 4S, aiming to assess its long-distance capability and charging convenience. The reviewer, Richard Symons, concludes that electric cars, and specifically the Taycan, are more than capable of handling such distances with surprising ease. Despite driving aggressively and not prioritizing efficiency, the total charging time for the entire 600+ mile trip was an impressive 47 minutes. The Taycan 4S, equipped with the performance battery and larger wheels, demonstrated exceptionally fast charging, adding 50% battery in approximately 11-12 minutes at 350kW chargers. While the reviewer noted that a five-year-old Tesla Model S P90D was slightly more efficient under similar conditions, the Taycan's comfort, quietness, and rapid charging capabilities make it a superb grand tourer. The reviewer emphasizes that the common criticism of EVs being inconvenient for long distances is largely unfounded with modern vehicles.
