Taycan

The Taycan is a battery-electric, four-door sedan family produced by Porsche AG since 2019. It arose from the Mission E concept and represents Porsche’s first large-scale electric production model, aimed at delivering high-performance driving with practical everyday usability. The Taycan is built around an 800-volt electrical architecture that enables rapid DC charging and efficient power delivery.

The car uses two electric motors, one on each axle, to provide all-wheel drive. A two-speed transmission on the rear axle optimizes acceleration and efficiency, while the front axle provides additional traction. Battery options have included different capacities, with larger packs offering extended range and better sustained performance. The Taycan supports high-speed charging at compatible stations, with maximum DC charging capabilities around several hundred kilowatts, depending on version and charging conditions. Onboard AC charging capabilities are also available for home or slower public charging.

Model variants have evolved since launch. Initial versions included the Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, and Taycan Turbo S. Later additions introduced the Cross Turismo, a wagon-like variant with increased cargo space and off-road styling cues, along with other body styles that share the same platform and powertrain. Range and performance vary by model and configuration, but the Taycan generally offers competitive acceleration for its class and range figures that depend on battery size and drivetrain.

Production is centered at Porsche facilities in Germany. The Taycan has been widely marketed worldwide, with ongoing updates and new variants expanding the lineup since its debut.
