The Porsche Taycan RWD (2021-2024) has a 79.2 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 213 mi on a single charge — ranked №516 out of 764 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Porsche Taycan RWD (2021-2024) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 300 kW (402 hp) of power and 254 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.1 seconds (№34 out of 116 ranked positions, among 764 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 143 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Porsche Taycan RWD (2021-2024) is 213 miles, ranking it №148 out of 242 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Porsche Taycan RWD (2021-2024) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 9.6 kW, which translates to roughly 26 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Porsche Taycan RWD (2021-2024) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 223 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
