EV Channels Review
This video documents a 1,200km road trip across Germany in a Porsche Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo, focusing on the charging infrastructure and the vehicle's performance. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's impressive charging speeds, capable of reaching 70% in just 15 minutes, and praises the German charging network as 'perfect.' The updated software is noted for efficiency improvements, particularly in how the rear motor disconnects. While the reviewer loves the Taycan's GT capabilities, he acknowledges that the Turbo trim is not available in the US, where only the GTS Sport Turismo is offered. The car's thermal management, especially in Sport Plus mode with climate control off, is discussed extensively, noting its ability to handle hard driving but also its tendency to overheat, leading to 'turtle mode' charging. Despite some thermal limitations, the reviewer concludes that the Taycan is exceptionally well-suited for high-speed German roads and charging.
