The performance plus battery had 93.4 kWh total and 83.7 kWh usable.
The 2025 J1.2 version has increased battery capacity.
The performance battery pack is up to 89 kWh total and 82.3 kWh usable.
The performance plus battery pack has 105 kWh total and 97 kWh usable.
The combination of larger battery packs and powertrain efficiency improvements have increased EPA range ratings across the models.
The least expensive and slowest model is the rear-wheel drive Porsche Taycan sedan.
The rear-wheel drive Porsche Taycan sedan has 429 hp with overboost and 309 lb-ft of torque.
It goes from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.
It has a 1/4 mile time of 12.5 seconds at 113 mph.
The 2025 Porsche Taycan has 318 miles per charge, while the 2024 model had 242 miles, a 31% increase.
The Taycan can be optioned with up to 1,019 horsepower.
The rear-wheel drive is a single motor, so it does not have the extra motor upfront, so it goes the farthest.
The test involves checking the car's tire pressure and using GPS apps to check the speedometer's accuracy.
Doing range tests at night creates poor video quality, but to get the test done with not as many people on the highway is easier at night.
After a 70 mph range test on the New Jersey Turnpike, the reviewer managed 361 miles on a charge.
The charge averaged 3.7 miles per kWh.
For the cross-Turismo version, the car has only 277 miles EPA range, with 302 miles, and 3.1 miles per kilowatt-hour achieved.
The Porsche is an excellent EV road-tripper. It adds miles faster while charging than other electric cars. The test was done on Electrify America’s DC fast charger.
The reviewer highly recommends getting the standard and not the larger tires. The reviewer did not need the all wheel drive version. Also with limited amounts of electric vehicles available, the reviewer feels that this specific car is an easy decision to make.
