EV ONLY TRACK BATTLE: PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S VS TESLA MODEL 3 & S. HOW MANY LAPS AND MILES PER CHARGE?

EV Channels Review

This video documents the UK's first EV-only track day, challenging the notion that electric cars are not suitable for track use. The reviewer highlights the Porsche Taycan 4S, Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and Tesla Model S Long Range Performance. While the Taycan 4S demonstrated strong performance and good brakes, it exhibited significant understeer and extreme tire wear after 49 miles, averaging 1500 Wh/mile. The Model 3 Long Range, used primarily as a camera car, performed surprisingly well for a standard vehicle, averaging 1200 Wh/mile over 30 miles, though its brakes and suspension were noted as limitations for regular track use. The Model S Long Range Performance was a surprise contender, handling well with good straight-line speed, though its brakes heated up after about five laps. The event successfully proved that EVs can be fun and capable on track, with many Teslas completing numerous laps. The organizer, John from Tevo Solutions, emphasized the feasibility and enjoyment of EV track days, suggesting more events will follow.
