REFRESHED PORSCHE TAYCAN DC CHARGES LIKE A BEAST, GM PLANS TO REVIVE PLUG-IN HYBRIDS

EV Channels Review

The refreshed Porsche Taycan receives high praise for its significantly improved charging performance, with the reviewer describing it as "crazy" and "the most insane thing I've ever charged." The vehicle can peak at 335 kW, with charging speeds remaining above 300 kW until 65% state of charge, adding over 74 kWh in just 15 minutes. While official range figures are embargoed, the reviewer's preliminary test in adverse conditions suggests a substantial increase over the previous model, potentially reaching 400 miles with gentle driving and three occupants. A standardized 70 mph highway test is expected to yield mid-300s miles, a notable improvement. The charging speed is highlighted as the most impressive aspect, surpassing even competitors like Lucid. However, specific trim levels and detailed range figures await official release.
