Porsche Taycan
The all-electric, rear-wheel drive Porsche Taycan offers an immersive driving experience with two battery options. The standard Performance Battery lets the Taycan unleash up to 300 kW (408 PS) in overboost mode with Launch Control, which can be elevated to 350 kW (476 PS) with the optional Performance Battery Plus. The nominal power output stands at 240 kW (326 PS) or 280 kW (380 PS), respectively. Charging capabilities are equally impressive, with the Performance Battery supporting a maximum charging capacity of up to 225 kW, while the Performance Battery Plus can accommodate up to 270 kW. This advanced charging technology enables a rapid charge from five to 80% State of Charge (SoC) in just 22 minutes. Also, a mere five minutes of charging can deliver enough power to cover an additional 100 kilometres.
