The verdict

What's good

  • 800-volt architecture charges faster than any rival EV sedan in the segment
  • Rear-axle steering makes the long wheelbase feel much more nimble at low speeds
  • Two-speed rear transmission gives genuine overtaking thrust without turbo lag
  • Interior haptic controls and screen layout are among the most intuitive in any EV

What's not

  • Real-world range on a spirited drive falls well short of the EPA estimate
  • Battery weight shifts cornering dynamics perceptibly compared to equivalent ICE 911
  • Early model year reliability has been below Porsche's ICE model standards
  • DC fast charging is only widely available on Electrify America, limiting rural routes

The engine

Dual-Motor Electric

Dual-Motor Electric

The Taycan's two motors — including a rare two-speed gearbox on the rear axle — deliver brutal, repeatable launches and Porsche-sharp response, holding their full performance lap after lap.

Porsche's first series EV rides on an 800-volt architecture co-developed for Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid racers, prioritizing thermal stability and repeatable performance over a single hero number.
