Porsche engineers explain how they managed to get big increases in range for the new Taycan.
One can’t help but wonder if Porsche was stung by the criticism of the low range and efficiency figures of the original Taycan. Never mind the fact that the car often beat EPA estimates in real-world testing; having to print that your car can’t do 300 miles on a charge while a Tesla Model S and Lucid Air were advertised as going far further must not have been fun. Or maybe this is just the way things are at Weissach, Porsche’s R&D center. Find improvements wherever possible.
All Taycan models get a new rear motor and inverter, too, which are more efficient than the old units. You can even see the battery temperature and the maximum charging rate possible in the gauge cluster. The latter is calculated based on temperature, state-of-charge and a number of other factors. Now also standard is a charging planner, which routes you to an appropriate charging station along the trip and automatically preheats the battery.
