The verdict

What's good

800-volt architecture charges faster than any rival EV in its class
Chassis balance feels closer to a 911 than a sedan — genuinely driver-focused EV
Standard air suspension adapts between modes without compromising either comfort or sharpness
Build quality and interior material choices match the asking price convincingly

What's not

Real-world range falls noticeably short of EPA estimates in cold climates
Weight penalty is palpable when pushing through tight switchbacks
Depreciation curve is among the steepest in the luxury EV segment
Rear legroom is tight for a flagship sedan at this price point

The engine

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.

The Taycan was the first production car with an 800-volt system — half the charging time and lighter wiring.
Its rear axle uses a two-speed transmission, almost unheard-of in EVs, for both launch and top-end efficiency.
