Porsche Taycan Turbo S – Porsche USA
The EPA range estimates enable comparison to other electric vehicles. These range estimates provide guidelines but the distance you can drive (range) varies considerably based on a number of factors, such as driving conditions and traffic situation (e.g., stop-and-go driving or highway driving), personal driving habits and selected driving mode (e.g., Sport), speed, topography, use of comfort/auxiliary equipment (e.g., air conditioning, heat, etc.), optional equipment (e.g., wheels and tires), weather, outside temperature, number of passengers, cargo, age of vehicle and the battery, battery capacity, and charging habits.
Porsche asked AMCI Testing to conduct independent tests to evaluate the range of the Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S to help customers make more informed decisions. Tested on AMCI Testing’s “City/Highway Commute Cycle” route on public roads in and around Southern California, the results were calculated by averaging the vehicle’s performance over five test cycles. Mode with Auto Regeneration selected and while using the HVAC in Eco mode.
AMCI Testing Results for the Taycan models are as follows:
– MY21 Taycan – 252 miles
– MY21 Taycan with Performance Battery Plus – 282 miles
– MY21 Taycan 4S – 247 miles
– MY21 Taycan 4S with Performance Battery Plus – 272 miles
– MY20 Taycan Turbo with Performance Battery Plus – 275 miles
– MY20 Taycan Turbo S with Performance Battery Plus – 278 miles

As with all battery-electric vehicles, the actual range of the Taycan will vary based on a number of factors as described above with regard to EPA range estimates.
Like all lithium-ion batteries, the lithium-ion battery in the Porsche Taycan is subject to physical and chemical aging, as well as wear and tear. Therefore, the Taycan battery will experience a reduction in the amount of electricity or charge it can hold over time, resulting in a reduction in the vehicle’s range and an increase in charging times. This is normal and expected.
Although Porsche expects the majority of vehicles to retain 70% of the battery’s original capacity through the first 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever occurs first) of normal use, the rate of reduction varies, and will depend upon your individual usage and operating environment. The rate of capacity loss will tend to be greater in the early part of the battery’s life, but the rate of loss should decrease over time. For 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, Porsche provides High-Voltage Battery Coverage under its New Car Limited Warranty if a capacity measurement performed at a Porsche authorized dealer shows that net battery capacity is less than the expected percentage at the times specified in the New Car Limited Warranty. Various factors, including exposure to hot or cold weather conditions, can affect the rate of battery capacity loss and charging time. See the Porsche Taycan New Car Limited Warranty and your authorized Porsche Taycan dealer for details. Please see the Porsche Taycan Owner’s Manual for additional information.
