Latest Tests Suggest Porsche Taycan Turbo’s Range Is Better Than EPA Estimates

It’s no key the EPA-estimated range for your Porsche Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models will be a little lackluster. However, based on range tests, it seems as though careful driving can see the Porsche comfortably exceed what the EPA says is its selection.

In one test, courtesy of Next Move YouTube, the Porsche Taycan Turbo was lined up from a Tesla Model 3 Long Range in the German Autobahn to see how the two stack up from their EPA-estimated ranges. Obviously, the Porsche is significantly pricier than the Model 3 and is a rival to the Model S however this was a test concentrated purely on range and that which was available to the motorist.

According to the EPA, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range can travel 325 miles (523 km) between costs. The Porsche’s range sits at a lowly 201 miles (323 km) by comparison. Throughout the German publication’so analyzing to a segment of the Autobahn at 150 km/h (93 mph), the Tesla was able to push 206 miles (332 km) to a fee, 118 miles (191 km) significantly less than the EPA estimate, while the Porsche did 195 miles (314 km) between costs, only 5.6 miles (9 km) less compared to its EPA estimate.

It’s not surprising that the ranges achieved for both cars were down to their own EPA estimates long, high-speed motorway driving can be all-electric cars and their individual ranges’ kryptonite.

In a different test in the U.S, Autoblog examined the Porsche Taycan Turbo throughout around-town driving and was able to achieve 287.2 kilometers (461 km) of projected range, around 43 percent greater than the EPA rating.  The author, Dan Edmundssaid:

“For perspective, I have seen several EVs — but definitely not all — so or greatest their rated range by 20 percent on this class. This result is important since this is the very first time I’ve found it is crushed by a vehicle . The mind boggles further once you consider that this specific Taycan Turbo rolls Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires rather than the workaday all-season rubber you watch on EVs and hybrids. ”
