EV Channels Review
This video documents an ambitious road trip from Stuttgart, Germany, to Istanbul, Turkey, in the updated 2025 Porsche Taycan. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's exceptional charging performance, noting its ability to sustain over 300 kW charging speeds well into the 60% state of charge, making it a formidable road-tripping EV. The journey traverses multiple countries, showcasing new charging infrastructure, including Alpitronic hyperchargers, and the challenges of navigating less developed networks outside of Western Europe. While the Taycan's speed and efficiency are praised, the reviewer also touches upon minor software bugs like adaptive cruise control issues and the car's tendency to encourage deeper charging than strictly necessary for the next leg. The experience emphasizes the Taycan's capability for long-distance travel, even with its Sport Turismo variant, though the sedan is noted as potentially more efficient. The trip is framed as an adventure through new cultures and landscapes, with a focus on the EV experience rather than sightseeing.
