Performance

With the optional Performance Battery Plus battery, you get other performance numbers. With overboost, the Porsche Taycan Turbo has a maximum power of 500 KW (680 hp / 625 bhp). Without overboost, it is 460 KW (625 hp / 671 bhp). The torque is 850 nm with overboost and without overboost. It performs the 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) in 3,2 seconds. The top speed is 260 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 93,4kWh and a net capacity of 83,7kWh, meaning you have a 9,7kWh buffer for protection. (10,4%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses NMC technology.

The WLTP range varies from 507 to 435 km (315-270 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 16.5kWh/100km for the basic version and 19.2kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 270kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 50 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 18 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 3% to 65%, resulting in an actual charge speed, including time loss, of 165kW. Each charge session would take 19 minutes and 53 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 22kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 10 minutes. This trip will require three charge session(s) charging from 3% to 58%. The total time lost for charging up the battery will be 51 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the standard onboard charger supports up to 11 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 7 hours and 36 minutes. You can also select an optional onboard charger that supports up to 22 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 3 hours and 48 minutes.
