It only takes about 30 minutes to fast charge an EV to 80%

I agree for the daily commuter and point to point office person 200 / 250 miles is going to be fine and they are the majority. Although many industries still require large mileage (in some cases I'm not sure why but that's a different argument). There is a bit of a time crunch due to some countries regulations to sort this portion out and I hope they do. Oh and our rapid charging infrastructure is rather sub par, I doubt you'll get 80% in 30 mins on a 3.7 or 7KW.! |

My BEV is charging @ 6.6 kw so it's close to 80% in less than 30 minutes I agree that the charging networks are crap needing much work

Your hypothetical situation (3-4 hours charge time) doesn’t represent reality. |

I think the range is fine. Total range is a sales gimmick and becoming less important year by year as battery tech improves and pushes past the avg. 300 point. My theory is Porsche understood and researched client range experiences in BEV vehicles from case studies of other manufacturers max range claims. Thus, they chose to under promise and over deliver on range. Here are several examples of this in real world testing. IMO, I rather have a car that over performs than under performance manufacturer specifications, regularly - I don't think anyone in the Porsche service drive is complaining of range on a daily basis. https://insideevs.com/reviews/410798...4s-range-test/ |

That Taycan is also on the 19's, which almost none are. Makes a pretty big difference to range. There's a reason no other EV has come with 265 front, 3x5 rears yet, despite all of them being heavy pigs that really NEED a big tire if the tire is going to stand up to any kind of track work. IIRC the Taycan 19" setup is a 225/275 stagger. The 21's that the Turbo S comes on, that made all the headlines about how terrible the range is, are 265/305's
I give Porsche a ton of credit for just sending it. IT's obviously still a great EV underneath, if you have a spare set of road trip wheels. A lot of Model 3 guys have a set of 18's with the OEM 18" LRR foam-filled tires for road trips, and a set of wide 18's with sticky tires on them for fun times It's encouraging that a bunch of the BMW i4 mules have ben spotted with staggered summer setups with a 245/275 setup IIRC from some of the spy shots. Bodes well for "optimized" road trip/winter range.

Remarks from Taycan owners regarding their Electrify America experiences have been less than favorable to say the least. |

It's a debut year for both the 992 911 and the Taycan, so that ain't it. Wild. I do wonder if part of it is just covid discretionary income weirdness, and if it'll stabilize closer to par with the Panamera.

As already seen in other tests, there is not much range difference between model S and Taycan.
Tesla drives like average car, except acceleration, while Taycan drives and feels like luxury sports car, simply it's complete car, and Tesla is overpriced average car. Like always 135 miles of range difference was proven lie, that seems to be constant with Elon Musk. 18 months ago he was BS that model S will be faster than Taycan on Nurburgring, that never happened because Tesla is not able to deliver constant power, as seen in graph from Car and driver.
