What Is the Charging Time for the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
The 2024 Porsche Taycan steals the spotlight for being quick off the line, but its quickness to get back on the road deserves some attention too.
The EV drives impressively far on a single charge and recovers its electric range rapidly when connected to a public charger.
What Is the Charging Time for the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
Battery Options and Charging Time
Every Porsche Taycan trim can be equipped with either the standard 79.2 kWh battery or the 93.4 kWh Performance Battery Plus. While the latter offers extended range and performance, both options charge equally fast when connected to an 800V DC fast charger, replenishing 62 miles every 5.5 minutes. Under ideal conditions, a DC fast charger recharges the Taycan’s battery from 5% to 80% in just 22.5 minutes, reaching a maximum charging speed of 270 kW.
The DC charging port is located on the passenger side of the vehicle, and although it is also compatible with AC chargers, the driver side features a dedicated AC charging socket. This makes the Taycan compatible with almost every public charger in the US, and you can find the nearest one using Porsche Connect. The standard 11 kW AC charger fully recharges the battery in 9.5 hours, but the available 22 kW charger reduces the charging time by half.
Driving Range by Trim Level
The entry-level Porsche Taycan drives an EPA-estimated 208 miles on a single charge, while the Performance Battery Plus option extends the EV’s range to 246 miles. Choosing the more performance-oriented AWD Turbo trim level gives you 238 miles of driving range, whereas the top-of-the-line Turbo S offers 222 miles. The 4S trim level equipped with the standard battery sits at the lower end of the range spectrum, offering a still impressive 206 miles when fully charged.
Power Output and Performance
With Porsche-like driving dynamics and EV-like near-instant torque production, the Taycan base model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. Its single electric motor generates a steady 402 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque, and comes with a 2-speed automatic transmission. Prioritizing efficiency over speed, the base model achieves an EPA-estimated 83 MPGe.
Opting for the high-performance GTS trim gives you command of two electric motors. Together, they produce 590 horsepower and 626 lb-ft of torque, propelling the EV from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. If you wish to go all-out on speed, the Turbo S trim level awaits at your local Porsche Center. It features a dual-motor setup generating a monstrous 750 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque, rocketing the Taycan from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
