The revamped 2025 Porsche Taycan EV has better -2-

Porsche says that charging a Taycan battery from 10% capacity to 80% at the highest setting takes 18 minutes. That shaves off a couple of minutes, although the Taycan was already one of the faster-charging electric cars. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for an overnighter.

4-year/50,000-mile warranty

Porsche's new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. These arrangements are typical among European luxury vehicles.
