Is The Porsche Taycan Turbo still the Ultimate Performance EV ? | 4K

Is the Porsche Taycan still the ultimate efficiency ? A simple concern that require a correct test. I took the Taycan on a road trip to see how far I could get on a charge, took it to an ultra rapid charge and obviously did a launch control!

    Excellent video Ped, and a complete contrast to the other guy who has one of these, and seems to have problems and issues everywhere he goes in it! 😁😁

    If I ever wanted one, I would get one that is still relative newish (70 plate) that is available for around £60-£70k (50% depreciation).

    They did a Oak Green Mk2 Golf GTi. Seems a bit lighter than that from memory.

    I would very much enjoy THIS Taycan, as is, really. I like the looks; the dark colour masks the black plastic bits that hang down from the outer corners of the headlamps. I’ve never liked that look; it appears as though the car is weeping. A light colour would just kill it for me.
    Yes..the “estate” version would be a smidge nicer, but this is perfectly fine. A car is great if it can relax a pair of dogs. 😆🤣
    What more can be said? It’s an EV, it’s painted green, the chocolate brown interior looks so welcoming (just like any chocolate would be…), and it’s not an anonymous, grey SUV/CUV. Along with Traci’s and the Petrol Pups’ seals of approval…this car’s a good’un!

    They do need to get a grip/control on pricing in public. 70 80 and 90p per kwh is frankly crazy

      But then as a country we need to get a grip of our electricity unit price, we have renewables everywhere now and battery storage but we don’t see the benefit in our bills. Decoupling the renewables price from Gas production electric and the fact it’s set at its dearest generation point – Gas. But charging 8p per kWh with 🐙 at night for the win. I’d use the Car more.

    Hi Pete, the fastest charging curve for a 350kw charger on the Taycan gen 2 is about 5%-62% . Stopping to charge at 20% is a bit early. Run it done to 5% then charge to just over 60%, unplug and move on.

    For a Porsche the depreciation is steep, as many ICE ones hold 50%+ after 8-10 years. But any large saloon (German premium ones) depreciate heavily anyway….so it’s a great bargain really, if you are so inclined. Keep up the good work Pete.

    1. @SWR112 Avatar
      @SWR112

      They give what they think is reasonable to expect on all Porsche models giving the exception of limited special editions that 55% loss in value over the first three years then you can expect 6-7% next few years then down to something like 4-5% depending on use and mileage.

    Glad Porsche gave you the PCS this time Pete, it makes the whole ownership experience far better and in some instances where people don’t have access to home charging, can be as cost effective as if they did.

    Some important points you raised which many non-EV commentators don’t realise, or media report which isn’t real world case.
    -> People get these cars on business schemes and are not paying RRP, or losing nowhere large amounts of money.
    -> Charging discounts – many EV makers offer charging point discounts. I also get discounted rates. So the advertised higher price per kWh is rarely paid.

    You are the first YouTuber I’ve seen actually mention and use the Porsche Ionity discount.

    What a nice road trip that was! Clearly you two and the pups had a nice weekend away, and what a nice car to take! And yes, the colour is very very nice! Just not quite as nice, in my op, as my V6 Cavalier, which was a pearlescent green called Nautilus. It didn’t exactly flip, but at certain angles, blue and green kind on melding together was awesome!

    Another interesting, understandable video, Peter. Great to see Tracy and ‘The Pups’ involved, not to mention Steve the builder. Almost made me cancel my order for a 911 Turbo. Ha ha, back on planet Earth I’m off to Sainsbury’s in my Niro!

    Fabulous colour combination and wow what a car. I agree the cross turismo is the one I’d go for as well and at 300 miles per charge range anxiety is somewhat mitigated. Your builders face was a joy 😂
