OUR EURO EV TOUR COMES TO AN END! RIPPING THROUGH GERMANY TO TIE UP LOOSE ENDS IN THE TAYCAN TURBO

EV Channels Review

This video concludes the reviewer's European EV tour, focusing on the Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo's high-speed charging capabilities and road trip experience in Germany. Despite encountering significant traffic and roadworks, the Taycan Turbo demonstrated impressive charging speeds, reaching up to 260 kW and charging from 5% to 86% in approximately 10-15 minutes at Ionity stations. The reviewer praised the car's 800-volt architecture, powerful acceleration, and the effectiveness of its carbon ceramic brakes. However, the experience was marred by frequent charging delays due to occupied or slow chargers, and unexpected charging speed limitations on some stations. The reviewer also noted the practicalities of the Cross Turismo's design, including its higher ride height and gravel mode, while expressing a preference for the charging port placement on the passenger side. The video also briefly touches upon the VW ID.3, highlighting its improved software and charging performance.
