Porsche Taycan 2025: Up to 600 km Range, 80% Fast Charge in 20 Minutes

The new version of the Porsche Taycan has undergone development and is currently undergoing test runs before its official launch later this year or early next year. In a test drive event in California attended by the media, Porsche announced that the Taycan 2025 has a range of up to 587 km after each full charge, which is 161 km more than the current version.

The Taycan 2025 was tested by Porsche on a 2,000 km long highway connecting Los Angeles and San Diego, California. The car was driven at speeds up to 120 km/h, the maximum allowed on the entire route. In total, the company tested four versions, all equipped with the largest battery pack. Among them, the Taycan Cross Turismo 4 (equipped with 21-inch wheels) achieved a maximum range of 512 km, the Taycan Turbo (with 21-inch wheels) covered 345 miles (555 km), and the Taycan 4s (with 20-inch wheels) traveled 552 km. Surprisingly, the standard Taycan with a single electric motor and 19-inch wheels is the model with the longest range, up to 587 km.

Kevin Giek, Vice President of Porsche responsible for the Taycan line, described the figure of 587 km as “an excellent result.” He further stated that “The range testing in Southern California has impressively proven the capabilities of the new Taycan.”

It should be noted that this was just an independent test drive organized by Porsche to evaluate the performance of the Taycan. The official range will be determined and certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and printed in the vehicle’s brochures. The EPA testing also takes place under favorable conditions, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, on dry roads, and lasts for about 2 to 3 days.

In addition, the Porsche Taycan 2025 also sees improvements in charging speeds. In the recent test event, all cars were charged at Electrify America stations with a continuous power output of 300 kW. The results show that all four Taycans achieved charging speeds from 10 to 80% battery capacity in less than 20 minutes. For comparison, the current Porsche Taycan has a maximum charging power of 270 kW, taking nearly 23 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% battery capacity.

Giek stated, “We are continuing to focus on the ‘fast-charging’ strategy for our electric vehicle models.” Essentially, this strategy focuses on improving charging speeds and optimizing the drivetrain system.
