The 2021 Porsche Taycan is a perfectly innovative electric vehicle, offering high-performance potential among its rivals in a similar range. As the first produced EV with an 800-volt design and it sets new benchmarks in charging speeds and acceleration times. The top variant 750-hp Turbo S is one of the quickest cars. The 4S now comes with a lower and basic capacity 71.0-kWh battery, though the 83.7-kWh pack is still in range.
Porsche has redesigned Taycan’s charging system to better consumption of the battery’s service life and limit overall power loss during fast charging. Porsche Taycan is launched in India in April 2022 with an estimated price of Rs 2.50 Crores.
