Porsche Taycan electric car review from a weekend test drive.
By Markus Wiemann, Head of Project Execution Onshore Wind NE&ME, Senior Vice President at Siemens Gamesa
Last weekend I took a Porsche Taycan for a test drive. The Taycan is the first fully electric car of Porsche and was released at the end of 2019. I drove approximately 250 km (155 miles), starting from Hamburg, Germany. Find below my review that I structured into six areas: intro, design, driving experience, charging, range, and driver assistance systems.
Introduction
In the segment of electric performance cars, there are only two real contenders: the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Models S Performance. I drove different versions of the Model S in the past and will include reference to that experience. For this weekend test drive, I rented a Porsche Taycan 4S, with the larger battery option, from a Porsche dealer in Hamburg.
