Driving Range
In short, how many miles you can travel on a full charge. Is length important? Let’s not open that can of worms…
Efficiency
How many kWh of charge are needed to travel a set distance. The fewer needed, the more efficient your EV is. Easy!
Battery
The bigger the battery, the more power it can hold. In essence, fewer stops needed to top up your charge. Ahh, simplicity!
Top Speed
The maximum speed you can reach with your foot pressed hard to the floor. Important when escaping a zombie apocalypse, we assume.
Seats
Well, you don’t want to have to leave anybody at home… or do you?
Body
From stylish SUVs and compact crossovers, to curvaceous coupes and handy hatchbacks, there’s a perfect shape for everyone!
Isofix
The safe way to attach a child seat. Typically, these are hidden in the join between the back seats, alongside the crumbs from your last meal deal.
Safety Rating
A measure that considers the amount of safety kit installed, how a vehicle performs in crash testing and how safe it is for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Indication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 110 km/h is assumed. The actual range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather and route conditions.

General Charging (0 - 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV

Rapid Charging (10 - 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge (SoC) has been reached.

Porsche Taycan 4S Plus Charging Guide
Porsche has long been a brand which has been associated with fast cars and luxury. As with many car manufacturers, and largely due to global pressure for a more sustainable future, Porsche has released a few hybrid offerings over the years but the Taycan is the first all-electric vehicle in its fleet.
What the Porsche Taycan does better than other electric cars, is prove that style and substance go hand in hand. This fully electric vehicle handles like a dream whilst showing Porsche’s talent for turning any shape into a sports car.
Can Porsche Taycan 4S Plus use a Tesla charger?
Yes, the Porsche Taycan is compatible with the Tesla Supercharger. If you need some ultra-fast charging whilst you’re out, finding a supercharger can offer exactly that.
Although the supercharger is an effective charging method away from home, choosing to install a home EV charger will ensure you can charge at home in the most economical way possible. With the ability to charge the Porsche Taycan using surplus energy created from your home solar panels, a dedicated charger allows you to be in full control of your home charging.
How long does it take to charge the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus?
11 hours 57 minutes*
*Using a standard 7kWh charger, such as zappi it would take 11 hours and 57 minutes to fully charge your 83.7kWh battery. The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus also has the capability to be charged on the 22kWh zappi, which would reduce this charging time down to 9 hours.
What is the range of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus?
285 miles**The range of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus with the 87.3kWh battery, differs between 210 miles and 400 miles depending on your driving conditions and the type of road. Typically, the average range from a full charge will be around 285 miles.
How much does it cost to charge the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus?
£6.28**It could cost just £6.28 to charge the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus, with the 71kWh battery, when fully utilising off-peak charging on an Octopus Intelligent tariff, at 0.075p/kWh. In contrast, peak charging on a standard rate of 0.34p/kWh can cost £28.46 to charge up.
How much is a Porsche Taycan 4S Plus?
Starting at £90,406* and ranging beyond £130,000* it’s safe to say that the Porsche Taycan is one of the more expensive electric vehicles available.
As with all the cars in Porsche’s fleet, there seems to be an endless list of customisations from the exterior colour to the stitching on the interior. Of course, this all comes at an additional cost.
*prices correct as of October 2023.
Is the Porsche Taycan fully electric?
Yes. The Porsche Taycan is the first fully electric offering by Porsche. With a three-year warranty as standard as well as an additional 8-year warranty covering the battery, you can be sure your investment is protected.
The Porsche Taycan doesn’t just guarantee the battery won’t fail for those first 8 years, it actually guarantees that the battery won’t drop below 70% of its original capacity. An addition which is not standard with all EVs.
