The reason Porsche uses the brake pedal for recuperating is it is the only way to be able to drive the car really hard! I also love 1 pedal driving, but I understand the choice! And the Taycan can recup so much power, if it was in the speeder pedal, it was like hard breaking when you lift the food!
The BMW actually has 2 Upgrades, from 22 to 33 and now 44 kw in the same way! People are starting to chance the 5 years old battery just because of the extra range they get!
I do not thing you Can see the difference. I was also thinking white, and at my Porsche center the dealer really had to look at the cars to tell me witch one were metallic or not! It was cloudy not sunny the day! I changed to Silver
Maybe someone got the same document in English!? But I was also surprised, for the buffer in the porsche battery is Very conservative. I drive a BMW i3, and I can not change the charging. Always to 100%.
They also write:
Parking for more than 2 weeks the % must be within 20-50%
Thanks
Looks like a Very advanced charger, nice. Build in RCD typeB is saving me 400€ on the installation. 11kw here in Denmark where we have 3 phases.
And the spec:
I am saying that the power loss is so much lover with 800 volts. And the reason the Taycan is not going more miles on a charge is a chose from Porsche! They developed the battery so it can deliver more power, don’t need to wait for heating and things like that. Se Tesla, you need to wait 30...
Nice article!
One thing I am wondering when I read on the internet is no one is talking power loss!
Of cause the cables can be less, but the advantage is the reduced loss.
The power loss is I^2 x R, so going from 200A til 100 A is a sawing of 3/4! Not just 1/2 !
Hope you see my point
In Europe there we have 3phase + zero,(3x230/400v)the red CEE is 16A or 32A. You can chose freely from the Porsche configuration. The car can only charge with 11kw to begin with, so I will chose the 16A cable/socket.
What’s a start, so is it only the battery we have extra warranty on! 8 years, how many % capacity left?
I can see you have 3 years general warranty, we only have 2 years!
