HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE A PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO?

EV Channels Review

This video details a charging session of a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo on a 150 kW Electrify America DC fast charger. The reviewer experienced initial software-related charging issues due to the car being a German-spec model not yet released in the US, requiring significant troubleshooting with Electrify America support. Despite these hurdles, the Taycan demonstrated impressive charging speeds, reaching 80% in just 28 minutes and a full 100% in 62 minutes. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's linear charging curve, maintaining over 100 kW until 80% SOC, and notes that it added 200 miles of range in under 30 minutes. While praising the Taycan's charging capability, the reviewer also contextualizes it against the Tesla Model 3, noting that although the Taycan charged slightly faster, the Model 3 offered significantly more range for a comparable charging time. The video emphasizes the importance of considering both charging speed and vehicle range for road trip planning.
