What Is the Charging Time for the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
Waiting hours at a charging station is the biggest inconvenience EV owners face. Luckily, the 2024 Porsche Taycan replenishes its electric range by the time you finish your coffee.
The all-electric sports car offers different battery options, so you can find the perfect Taycan for your driving needs at your local Porsche Center.
What Is the Charging Time for the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
Charging Time
The Porsche Taycan is equipped with two charging ports. A driver-side J1772 AC charging socket makes the EV universally compatible with AC chargers, while the passenger-side CCS Combos socket can receive a DC connector. When plugged into an 800V DC fast charger, the standard 79.2 kWh battery recharges from 5% to 80% in a quick 22.5 minutes under ideal charging conditions. This translates to 62 miles per 5.5 minutes, putting the Taycan back on the road in no time.
Drivers can also charge the EV gently at home by connecting it to a 120V or 240V outlet. When connected to a 240V outlet at 11 kW, a Taycan with a drained battery replenishes its range completely in 9.5 hours. The charging time can be halved with the optional onboard 22 kW charger. The available 93.4 kWh Performance Battery Plus boosts performance and range without significantly increasing the charging time, maintaining a 5% to 80% DC charging time of 22.5 minutes.
Driving Range
With the standard battery, the entry-level Porsche Taycan is rated for an impressive EPA-estimated range of 208 miles. The Performance Battery Plus increases this to 246 miles. High-performance models such as the all-wheel drive (AWD) Turbo S trim cover up to 222 miles on a single charge, whereas the mid-range Turbo trim drives 238 miles. The Taycan’s lowest electric range is still a remarkable 206 miles, achieved by the 4S trim with the 79.2 kWh battery.
Energy Efficiency
All Taycan models are engineered for efficiency. The base model consumes 42.6 kWh per 100 miles when equipped with the standard battery and 43.5 kWh per 100 miles when powered by the Performance Battery Plus. It achieves an EPA-estimated 81 MPGe combined with both the standard and the upgraded battery.
Technology such as regenerative braking boosts the Taycan’s energy efficiency. Regenerative brakes kick in when you push the brake pedal and work by recapturing kinetic energy using an electric motor. Functioning as a generator, the motor converts kinetic energy into electricity and recharges the Taycan’s battery. The braking system’s efficiency increases exponentially with speed; the Taycan recovers four times as much energy when braking from 60 mph than from 30 mph.
The Porsche Taycan comes with some of the industry’s best charging times and efficiency technologies. Find out more about the EV at Porsche Warwick in Warwick, RI. Schedule a test drive through our website to experience the Taycan from behind the wheel.
