Maybe one of the first questions you have about switching to electric power is how many miles you will be able to get out of your Porsche? The base model, two-wheel drive, Taycan has the longest estimated range out of the Taycan model line with an estimated combined range of 220 - 268 miles. When fitted with a Performance Battery Plus, this estimate goes up to between 253 - 301 miles. When you’re looking at a Cross Turismo, which comes with the Performance Battery Plus as standard, you would get 242 - 283 miles. How many journeys are you making when you actually drive over 250 miles in one go?
So if we take a look at the average commute, in a 2019 survey of 2,000 full-time UK workers by Moneybarn, they found that the average commute in the UK is 23 miles , while only 14% of commuters travel over 42 miles a day. These numbers are easily manageable for an all-electric Porsche. With less people commuting to the office now, we would be interested to see whether this has reduced these numbers. Many people now will be working from the office in their living room, zero miles away from home, and therefore reducing their daily mileage greatly.
If you are a two car family and are considering changing one of your combustion engine cars to an electric one, the Taycan is the perfect proposition as it combines the luxury and performance that you would expect from Porsche with green credentials.
Maybe now the perfect two car garage is an EV for everyday commutes and one combustion engine for longer trips. The key thing to bear in mind is that both would deliver a thrilling drive if they were from the Porsche brand.
