NEW PORSCHE TAYCAN 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! BLOWS PAST EPA RATING

EV Channels Review

The new Porsche Taycan J1.2, specifically the RWD model with the Performance Battery Plus and 19-inch aero wheels, delivers an impressive highway range, significantly exceeding its EPA rating. During a 70 mph highway test in favorable conditions (around 70°F with minimal wind), the vehicle achieved a tested range of 367 miles. While the reviewer noted that warmer conditions could potentially add another 10 miles, and larger wheels might reduce range to around 330-340 miles, the overall result is lauded as stellar. A key takeaway is the Taycan's transparent battery management; when the car indicates zero range, it truly means zero, with no hidden buffer, which the reviewer appreciates for its honesty and predictability for EV enthusiasts. The car also demonstrated exceptional charging performance, a known strength of the Taycan, making it a formidable road trip contender despite a slightly lower range compared to competitors like the Lucid Air.
