That is amazing range from IEV's test at 70 mph vs. the very low EPA test rating. That blows away the 66 kWh 2020 Bolt despite it having a higher EPA range rating.
Too bad (like many Porsches), it's expensive. No thanks. And, Porsche's are money pits to maintain and repair. Funny enough, a Bolt driver who I met at free public charging (before I had a Bolt) and sometimes bump into after I let him know about the free/discounted charging on DrivetheARC told me he was getting at Taycan awhile ago. He before kept saying he was going to get an EV with the "fastest charging". This is around the time he said he'd get it and I saw him check into Plugshare, w/Taycan selected.
He mentioned to me that the Taycan only supports CarPlay and not Android Auto. He's an Android user and said because of the Taycan, he's going to have to switch to iOS. From the tidbits I've seen about Taycan like https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/20/apple-music-fully-integrated-in-porsche-taycan/, it seems like a very Apple-centric car. I guess Porsche is (was?) ok w/possibly driving away people who use Android.
Over 260 kW DC fast charging rate is really impressive. Maybe this is the fastest non-Tesla in terms of DC FCing in the US, so far?
